Emcore introduces portable Terahertz spectrometer
Key applications include explosives characterisation and detection and non-destructive material inspection.
Emcore Corporation is launching the PB7200 portable frequency domain Terahertz (THz) spectrometer.
Demonstrated at the recent IRMMW-THz Conference in Houston, TX, the PB7200 is designed for THz researchers and application developers who need to study the properties of materials at THz frequencies with high resolution. Key applications of this technology are explosives characterisation and detection and non-destructive material inspection.
The PB7200 is the first truly economical THz system that can sweep from 100 GHz to over 2.0 THz in a single rapid scan with high-frequency resolution. It employs precisely tuned, fibre-coupled, semiconductor lasers with highly advanced photomixers for signal generation and detection. In addition, the PB7200 features sophisticated digital control hardware and software to provide a fully turnkey, portable THz spectrometer.
"The PB7200 represents a breakthrough in the field of THz technology because it offers outstanding performance at half the price of competing systems. It can support single frequency or broadband frequency range operation in specific spectral regions of interest with varying degrees of resolution. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for multiple applications," said Joseph Demers, Advanced Photonics Principal for Emcore.
