Timothy Korter is Professor of Chemistry at Syracuse University,New York, United States. His group is also investigating the use of THz radiation for the non-invasive and non-destructive detection and identification of concealed threats such as explosives, biological agents, and chemical agents. Terahertz radiation interacts strongly with high-dielectric substances such as water, but transmits with little attenuation through materials such as plastic, cloth, and paper. Consequently THz radiation, like X-ray radiation, can be used for non-invasive imaging. Unlike X-rays, it is low-energy and non-ionizing, which minimize deleterious health effects. Our research efforts range from developing new THz sources and sensors to improving our understanding of the chemical origins of THz spectra.
