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.
Federici and his research team recently described experimental results from a digital video camera invented in their laboratory that uses a terahertz imaging system. One day such a device could be used to scan airport passengers quickly and efficiently.
The upcoming ACS Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting (MARM 2010) will include a Symposium on Advances in IR and Terahertz Spectrometry and their applications in Analytical Techniques. April 10-13, 2010, Wilmington, Delaware.
A number of technical breakthroughs in photonics, electronics and nanotechnology have occurred since the early 1990s which have brought terahertz technology within striking distance of significant commercial markets like security, communications, nondestructive evaluation, medicine and electronics.
This project will ultimately provide an improved explosives and chemical/biological agent detection capability for the U.S. Government.
