This book highlights advances in the field of THz engineering along with limitations of radio frequency (RF) technology. All engineering applications have been designed to operate over a specific frequency or wavelength range in electromagnetic spectrum. In recent years, the unexplored domain of THz range of electromagnetic spectrum has paved the way for terahertz technology due to its nonionizing nature and sensitivity to water content. A wide range of applications with THz techniques such as terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), biological, medical and pharmaceutical sciences, explosives inspection, information and communication technology (ICT) sector and many more, have potential to be the technology of future. Different designing aspects and evolving application areas are addressed to enrich the technical knowledge of readers. This book provides an overview of state of the art in terms of research and industrial progress in THz spectrum.

With the advancements in areas like optical communication, signal processing, imaging systems, etc. researchers, industry persons and end users are required to be familiarized with the progress in these sectors. In recent years, the almost unexplored domain of the THz range of electromagnetic spectrum has paved the way for terahertz technology. The present title “Optical to Terahertz Engineering” focuses on the recent developments in Optical and THz technology with an emphasis on their basic fundamentals. It illuminates on different materials required for THz and optical engineering, explains methodologies and challenges of imaging and secured communication in both THz and optical domains, and also discusses the applications of fiber optics in different domains. This book serves as a guide to THz and optical technology for new researchers in various fields. Many different disciplines, such as phase controllers for THz-Spectro-Polarimeters and photo-emission technology from heavily doped THz materials, involve the recent developments of THz technology. On the other hand, advancements and future prospects of Lithium Niobate-Based polarization phase modulator, photonic crystal fiber, Optical Code Multiple Access System, satellite image correction and thermal image processing emphasizes optical technologies. The focus of the current title mainly lies in the practical applications of THZ and optical engineering. Optical to Terahertz Engineering is an ideal book for a very vast audience from basic science to engineering and technology experts and learners. This book has the potential to become a textbook for engineering and Post Graduate programs in science, and also for researchers. This title also serves the common public interest by presenting new methods of integration into society.
