Is terahertz radiation dangerous? Effects of terahertz radiation.

Terahertz wave safety and protection

Regulation limits from microwaves and infrared The terahertz region is between the radio frequency region and infrared. Both the IEEE RF safety standard [1] and the ANSI Laser safety standard [2] have limits into the terahertz region, but both safety limits are based on extrapolations. The ICNIRP recommends that between 10 GHz and 300 GHz, the power … Read more

What is terahertz?

Frequency from 100 GHz to 10 THz, wavelenght from 3mm to 30µm , crosses most dielectrics, absorbed by water, total reflection on metal and non ionising

Terahertz frequency band Terahertz (THz) waves is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and microwave radiation corresponding to wavelenghts from 3 mm to 100 µm. In the frequency domain, it consists of the band from 100 GHz to 30 THz (See Fig 1.). For 1 Thz, wavelenght is about 300 µm, photo energy … Read more
