Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is an important tool for imaging in the field of biomedical engineering, due to the non-invasive, non-ionizing nature of terahertz radiation coupled with its propagation characteristics in water, which allows the operator to obtain high-contrast images of skin cancers, burns, etc. without detrimental effects. In order to tap this huge potential, it is important to build highly efficient biomedical imaging systems by introducing terahertz absorbers into biomedical detectors. The biggest challenge faced in the fulfilment of this objective is the lack of naturally occurring dielectrics, which is overcome with the use of artificially engineered resonant materials, viz. metamaterials. This book describes such a metamaterial-based active absorber. The design has been optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO), eventually resulting in an ultra-thin active terahertz absorber. The absorber shows near unity absorption for a tuning range of terahertz (THz) application. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Computational Electromagnetics,$x2365-6239 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aEngineering?Materials 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000 606 $aMaterials Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700X 615 0$aMaterials science. 615 0$aEngineering?Materials. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 14$aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials. 615 24$aMaterials Engineering. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 676 $a620.11 700 $aChoudhury$b Balamati$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0762982 702 $aMenon$b Arya$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aJha$b Rakesh Mohan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254037203321 996 $aActive Terahertz Metamaterial for Biomedical Applications$92508079 997 $aUNINA
