THz Technology Applied to Cultural Heritage in Practice

Part of the book series: Cultural Heritage Science ((CUHESC))

Abstract

Electromagnetic waves from microwaves to X-ray are widely used in heritage science. The operating frequency region determines the role of the waves, because the responses of materials depend on the frequency. The frequency range of terahertz waves typically refers to the 0.1–10 THz range, which lies the photonics and electronic ranges, and has recently been in the focus of attention in applied optics. Characteristics and examples of THz imaging applications are introduced.
