Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a terahertz wave generating device. Background technique
[0002] Terahertz wave (THz wave) or terahertz ray (THz ray) was officially named in the middle and late 1980s. Before that, scientists would collectively call it far-infrared ray. Terahertz waves refer to electromagnetic waves with a frequency in the range of 0.1THz to 10THz, and a wavelength in the range of about 0.03mm to 3mm, which is between microwave and infrared. So far, the application of THz technology has mainly focused on molecular detection and biological imaging.
[0003] Experiments have proved that terahertz waves have unexpected biological effects, such as affecting cell growth and gene expression. What is even more surprising is that usually millimeter waves and submillimeter waves can only penetrate to a depth of less than 1mm in the living body, but they often bring curative effects to diseases of deep...
