摘要
Terahertz (THz) sensing technology enables 6G communication, detection of biological and chemical hazardous agents, cancer detection, monitoring of industrial processes and products, and detection of mines and explosives. THz sensors support security in buildings, airports, and other public spaces. They found important applications in radioastronomy and space research and, more recently, in Artificial Intelligence-driven THz sensing of MMICs and VLSI. Exploding demand for data transfers will require using the 300 GHz band after 2028 or even before and will make the deployment of THz sensing electronics inevitable. This paper discusses the new physics of THz sensing and THz sensing devices. It also reviews the THz sensing market, and key THz sensor companies. © 2024 World Scientific Publishing Company.
