T Rays for Two
Terahertz waves give rise to a new imaging technique
By RICHARD LIPKIN
They had set out to work on an entirely different problem. Bin Bin Hu and Martin C. Nuss,
two physicists at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, N.J., aimed to develop a better method
for testing the integrity of high-speed electrical circuits.
But noting how easily terahertz waves—a form of trillion-cycle-per-second radiation that
exists between the infrared and radio wave regions of the spectrum—penetrate the silicon cir-
cuitry, the scientists began to wonder about more general applications. Could this technique
be used to determine the structural and chemical compositions of ordinary objects?
Indeed it can, they soon confirmed.
Thus emerged a new imaging system bearing the name T rays.
“This is one of those cases,” says Nuss, “where we set out to do one thing and ended up
finding something completely different that’s more important.”
“You can think of terahertz waves as very high frequency radio waves or very low frequency
infrared waves,” says Nuss. “These waves have the interesting property that they can easily
pass through many dry, nonmetallic materials, like plastic, cardboard, wood, and glass.”
Although the radiation can penetrate only a few millimeters into some materials, the waves
can pass through sufficiently thin samples, becoming slightly distorted in the process. By
interpreting the changed wave forms that emerge from the other side, researchers can figure
out the chemical composition of the material in question.
By measuring subtle distortions of the T rays, including absorption, dispersion, and reflec-
tion, scientists can decode the wav
