Abstract
Terahertz (THz) technology has experienced rapid development in the past two decades. Growing numbers of interdisciplinary applications are emerging, including material science, physics, communications, security, as well as biomedicine. THz biophotonics involves studies applying THz photonic technology in biomedicine, which has attracted attention due to the unique features of THz waves, such as the high sensitivity to water, resonance with biomolecules, favourable spatial resolution, capacity to probe the water-biomolecule interactions and non-ionizing photon energy. Despite the great potential, THz biophotonics is still at an early stage of development. There is a lack of standards for instrumentation, measurement protocols, and data analysis which makes it difficult to make comparisons among all the work published. In this article we give a comprehensive review of the key findings which have underpinned research into biomedical applications of THz technology. In particular, we will focus on the advances made in general
THz instrumentation and specific THz-based instruments for biomedical applications. We will also discuss the theories describing the interaction between THz light and biomedical samples. We aim to provide an overview of both, basic biomedical research, as well as pre-clinical and clinical applications under investigation. The paper aims to provide a
clear picture of the achievements, challenges and future perspectives of THz biophotonics.
