According to this paper ¡§Terahertz Waveguides and Materials¡¨ http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4222223 Terahertz absorption coefficients are measured in cm-1. But why? What Ive learned before is that attenuation coefficients are normally measured in dBcm-1. So are they different? Or just the same? [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
