Abstract

Terahertz Systems: Technology and Emerging Markets is a new study that explores the current state of terahertz technology and market opportunities for systems operating in the terahertz range. This in-depth investigation discusses terahertz technologies already creating markets, emerging technologies that are set to create new market opportunities, the technical hurdles that must be overcome for wider commercial acceptance of terahertz systems, and overall market development. The report surveys today’s terahertz technology, separates hype from reality and assesses the applications where terahertz technology will open up significant new markets, and those where it won’t, including bracketed market forecasts for 2012 and 2017.
