INTRODUCTIONTerahertz radiation refers to electromagnetic waves propagating at frequencies in the terahertz range.
Terahertz waves lie at the far end of the infrared band, just before the start of the microwave band.
The T-ray band lies between 0.1 and 10 terahertz (THz).

T-rays, bridge the gap between electronics and photonics, have novel properties and interact uniquely with many materials.

BACKGROUND Terahertz radiation is emitted as part of the black body radiation from
anythingwith temperatures greater than about 10 kelvin.
mid-2007:- scientists at the U.S. Argonne National Laboratory announced the creationof a compact device that can lead to portable battery-operated sources of terahertz radiation which uses high-temperature superconducting crystals.
In 2008, engineers at Harvard University demonstrated that THz radiation wasgenerated by nonlinear mixing of two modes in a mid-infrared quantum cascade laser.
In 2009, T-waves are produced when unpeeling adhesive tape. The mechanism of terahertz radiation is tribocharging of the adhesive tape and subsequent discharge.
In 2011, Japanese electronic parts maker Rohm and a research team at Osaka University produced a chip capable of transmitting 1.5 Gbps using terahertz radiation.
In 2012 scientists from IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON and A*STAR in SINGAPOREhave shown off a tera hertz antenna that is just 100 nanometers across- about 30000times smaller then Rohm’s antenna.

It's enough to apply a voltage of 2 millivolts per junction to the crystals to induce electromagneticfields of frequencies in the terahertz range.

EMISSION of TERAHERTZ RAYS through NANO-ANTENNA
The tip-to-tip nanogap electrode structure provides strong terahertz field enhancement and acts as a nano-antenna to radiate the terahertz wave generated in the active region of the photomixer.
