First Wireless Video Transmission with Terahertz Waves
The global data highways are becoming increasingly fuller - it's no wonder that wireless means of transmission are becoming ever more attractive. However the current systems, such as WLAN or Bluetooth have their limits: They transmit the data with clock rates of some gigahertz, maximum (a billion vibrations per second). If one wants to increase the transmitted data quantity, then the clock rates must become still faster. Thus the range of the terahertz waves (1000 billion vibrations per second) has moved into focus - at least for short ranges, as for example, within rooms. more
