Terahertz Biomedical and Healthcare Technologies: Materials to Devices

Terahertz Biomedical and Healthcare Technologies: Materials to Devices reviews the emerging advances in terahertz biomedical and healthcare technologies, including advances in fundamental materials science research, device design and fabrication, applications in imaging, pattern recognition, and tomographic reconstruction by machine learning. First the potential for terahertz technologies for non-destructive sensing applications is examined and the challenges and opportunities for improved performance are reviewed--looking at improvement of the materials, optical elements, and measuring techniques. Then there is a discussion of the design and development of wide bandgap semiconductors for terahertz device applications including an analysis of the physics, device modelling, characterization, and fabrication concepts. Terahertz technologies have the potential to advance optical communications and computing technologies, the materials, devices, and their design are reviewed. The book also touches on potential defense, medical imaging, internet of things, and machine learning applications of terahertz technologies. Reviews the latest advances in the fundamental and applied research of terahertz technologies, covering key topics in materials science, biomedical engineering, and healthcare informaticsIncludes applications of terahertz technologies in medical imaging, diagnosis, and treatmentProvides readers with an understanding of the machine learning, pattern recognition, and data analytics research utilized to enhance the effectiveness of terahertz technologies INDICE: Section 1: THz Sources, THz Detectors, Design and Fabrication Technologies 1.
