TeraWave Time Domain Spectrometer

At a Glance

All-fiber terahertz spectrometer operating at 1.5 μm optical wavelength

Technical Background

Mobile THz systems for field operation: Robust and agile THz systems are the foundation for transferring THz technologies from research facilities to industrial environments. Our Time-Domain Spectrometer (TDS) is based on mature telecom components, all operating at an optical wavelength of 1.5 μm. Utilizing HHI‘s fiber-coupled emitter and detector modules, our THz system provides an unique combination of high flexibility and high performance. This allows us to adapt our THz system to your THz application.
