Description

Gentec-EO offers a room-temperature pyroelectric detector for terahertz (THz) sensing applications. Pyroelectric detectors are AC sources whose output varies inversely with the thickness of material temperature. 
  
Broadband, room-temperature pyroelectric detectors are playing an important role in the research and development of advanced THz sources. Interest for these sources have increased dramatically over the past five years as has interest in development of broadband thermal detectors to support the research.
