Terahertz (THz) radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies in the frequency spectrum ranging between microwaves and infrared light. In the field of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), THz radiation is utilised to inspect materials for imperfections or anomalies. THz radiation can penetrate numerous non-metallic materials and can reveal internal structures that are not visible in natural light or x-ray imaging. THz-based NDT finds applications in a variety of applicatins, including aerospace, electronics, and medical imaging. Each material possesses a unique fingerprint that enables its identification, differentiation, condition, quantification, and quality of materials through spectroscopy.

Terahertz (THz) technology offers numerous advantages over other radiation-based technologies. One key benefit is its ability to penetrate non-conductive materials, making it useful for imaging and inspecting plastic, paper, wood, cloth, ceramics, and other materials. THz technology is also safe and non-radioactive, making it a preferred choice for imaging and analysis.
THz technology is non-contact and non-destructive, making it an ideal tool for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications. It can detect defects and flaws within materials without requiring physical contact and provides high-resolution images with sub-millimeter accuracy. THz technology is valuable for composition identification by analyzing the spectral fingerprints of materials, allowing for non-invasive identification and characterization of materials. This feature is useful for security, pharmaceuticals, and food analysis applications.
