Cell investigation by Terahertz BioMEMS.
Quite recently, it was found that metal wires can effectively guide terahertz radiation. We report in this communication an original planar excitation of surface wave on a single wire transmission line. This configuration is well suited for the design of THz BioMEMS dedicated to cell investigation. We show that we can deal with a micrometer spatial resolution.
