Applications of Terahertz Technology for Bio-related Materials

Abstract

Recently, measurements of bio-related materials using terahertz technology have been attracted by many researchers. Among them, a terahertz chemical microscopy is one of the techniques that are not based on conventional terahertz spectroscopy, and has realized to visualize various types of chemical reactions in water solution. Here, detection mechanism of terahertz chemical microscopy was described, with followed by demonstration of label-free detections of bio-related materials.
