Description
Redefining Terahertz Technology
Our next-generation terahertz time-domain solutions set a new benchmark in speed, power, and performance. Achieving over 125 waveforms/s @ 50 ps, a bandwidth of 6.5 THz, and >100 dB dynamic range in under 5 seconds, these advancements are unmatched in the industry.
The newly upgraded TeraSmart spectrometer delivers unparalleled scanning speed, THz power, dynamic range and bandwidth. Featuring our high-power TERA15 antenna modules, an ultra-fast optical delay unit (up to 1700 ps) and a homebuilt transimpedance amplifier, it is designed for seamless integration into industrial and academic environments.
The available multichannel setup options enable simultaneous measurements with multiple emitter/detector pairs powered by a single femtosecond fiber laser oscillator. The new TeraSmart is more versatile and customizable than ever, now supporting high-power pump-probe applications with 1 W of pump power at 780 nm. Other enhanced features like an intuitive software interface, new TERA Image linear stages, and intelligent TCP socket connectivity make TeraSmart ideal for non-destructive testing and manufacturing line automation.
