Examples
-

Academic text (2011) -
Two main alternatives currently being considered are terahertz band and molecular communications.
Academic text (2011) -
In our case, we think of the Terahertz Band as a very large transmission window that can support very high transmission rates in the short range, that is, up to a few terabits per second for distances below one meter, or as several transmission windows more than 10 gigahertz wide, each as we've recently shown.
Academic text (2011) -
The time-varying polarization that accompanied the tunneling of the wave packet back and forth between the two wells was detected in the form of 1.5-terahertz electromagnetic radiation.
Academic text (1994) -
Researchers presented their latest findings on topics ranging from synthetic chemotaxis to star formation in starburst galaxies and from terahertz spectroscopy of nanoparticles to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Etymology
Terahertz as an adjective uses the same parts: tera- 'trillion' and hertz 'cycles per second', just like in kilohertz and megahertz. So a terahertz device works in the 'trillion cycles per second' range, meaning it deals with very high-frequency waves.
