With the addition of Spectrum Detector products, Gentec Electro-Optics will now have measurement solutions for the new and rapidly expanding THz market.
Maier has demonstrated plasmon waveguides on a silicon platform operating in the telecom band, and under AFOSR support he has realized some of the first plasmonic devices operating at THz frequencies.
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has set a new electronics performance record with a Terahertz Monolithic Integrated Circuit (TMIC) operating at 0.67 terahertz (THz), or 0.67 trillion cycles per second.
Scientists have discovered that composite particles called plasmarons play a vital role in the electronic structure of graphene, crystalline sheets of carbon just one atom thick. Their frequencies may reach 100 terahertz —much higher than the frequency of conventional electronics in today’s computers, which typically operate at about a few GHz.
“The process is ideal for applications in mm-wave frequency transceivers, as well as Terahertz imaging systems”
Scientists at MIT have combined several technologies to obtain a versatile source of THz light.
Devices that can mimic Superman’s X-ray vision and see through clothing, walls or human flesh are the stuff of comic book fantasy, but a group of scientists at Boston University (BU) has taken a step toward making such futuristic devices a reality.
Painted-over murals were thought to be irretrievably lost because conventional methods are seldom suitable to rendering the hidden works visible without causing damage. Research scientists now aim to reveal the secrets of these paintings non-destructively using terahertz beams.
Part of Toptica’s portfolio is offering customers a THz Standard Package plus Spectroscopy Kit product which uses a coherent detection technique for continuous wave (“cw”) THz signals.
Interdigitated photoconductive antennas have been engineered to reach even more of the THz spectrum for pulsed spectroscopy and imaging.
