New terahertz imaging system for industrial applications

Based on a number of inquiries from the industrial community Terasense has developed and started production of a new terahertz imaging system. The system is designed for a conveyor based non-destructive testing and security scanning applications. The imaging kit includes 1×256 pixel THz linear camera and 100 GHz (80 mW) source with a special projection optics. The terahertz imaging system has undergone successful tests in different industries. Despite the success, first tests revealed a number of unpredicted limitations, which pose a number of challenges for the terahertz community.
