Terahertz scanner: does it work?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the effectiveness of terahertz (THz) scanners and their interaction with various materials, including plastics and ceramics. Participants express confusion regarding the operational capabilities of THz radiation and its potential effects on the human body. The inquiry highlights the interest in assembling a THz scanner in a laboratory setting, prompting suggestions for further research beyond basic resources like Wikipedia. The conversation concludes with a note on the closure of the thread due to spam concerns.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of terahertz radiation principles

Hello everyone!

Maybe someone good at this topic or met this problem before, because I was really confused reading about this
<< Link deleted by Mentors as Spam >>
Can someone tell me: does it actually work? And how terahertz radiation can influence on the human body, considering that THz waves passing through variety of things, such as plastics, ceramics, composites etc.? Thanks in advance!

I'd like to assemble such one in my institute's laboratory, so it's an interesting issue for me, will it work effectively?
