In addition to its X-Ray applications, terahertz waves also have communication applications. There are more communication channels available in terahertz than the range than currently used for wireless communication, so information could be more rapidly shared at the terahertz frequency.

O's team's research was presented at the most recent International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). Next on the team's agenda is to build an entire working imaging system based on the CMOS terahertz system.
