Frequently Asked Questions

The Gentec-EO Hybrid Terahertz Pyroelectric Detector is used for terahertz (THz) sensing applications, such as security scanning of people and baggage, nondestructive testing of airplane wing structures, early detection of cancerous growths, noninvasive testing in microelectronics, and terahertz spectroscopy.

The features of the Gentec-EO Hybrid Terahertz Pyroelectric Detector include relative measurements from 0.1 to 30 THz, broadband, room temperature operation, easy to integrate format, several sensor sizes available, calibrated at 0.63 μm, test box available, and permanent IR window options.

The Gentec-EO Hybrid Terahertz Pyroelectric Detector comes in a choice of 2 x 2 mm, 5 and 9 mm Ø sensor sizes.

The Gentec-EO Hybrid Terahertz Pyroelectric Detector can be fitted with a permanent IR window to narrow the wavelength range. The S5/8 option has a range of 0.3 – 4.5 and 100 - 1000 μm, the Q5/8 option has a range of 0.25 – 3.0 and 50 - 1000 μm, and the Si5/8 option has a range of 1.2 – 8.0 and 50 - 1000 μm.

The THz portion of the electromagnetic spectrum fills the gap between the far infrared and the microwaves. In wavelengths, this range corresponds to 0.1 mm (or 100 μm) infrared to 1.0 mm microwave. The THz band is set in the region where electromagnetic physics can best be described by its wave-like characteristics (microwave) and its particle-like characteristics (infrared).
