Description

Gentec-EO offers a room-temperature pyroelectric detector for terahertz (THz) sensing applications. Pyroelectric nbsp;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.

Features

RELATIVE MEASUREMENTS FROM 0.1 TO 30 THZ: Broadband, room temperature operation, easier to use and less expensive than a Golay cell
  
WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE: With state-of-the-art pyroelectric sensors, measure down to 50 nW with 1 nW resolution.
  
SEVERAL SENSOR SIZES AVAILABLE: Choice of 5 mm and 9 mm diameter
  
CALIBRATED at 0.63 µm: THZ-B detectors are calibrated at a single wavelength (0.63 µm) and include typical wavelength correction data from 0.25 to 440 µm. They are used for relative measurements outside that range.
  
SDC-500 OPTICAL CHOPPER: All THZ-B detectors require the use of an optical chopper, like our SDC-500, to sync the signal at either 5 Hz (DA models) or 25 Hz (DZ models).
  
USER-FRIENDLY SOFTWARE WITH MANY FEATURES (WHEN USED WITH T-RAD-USB):
  • Strip chart, statistics and tuning needle displays
  • Controls and power display always visible
  • Tuning needle display includes min/max indicators
  • Data logging for long term testing

Applications

  • Security scanning of people and baggage
  • Nondestructive testing of airplane wing structures
  • Early detection of cancerous growths
  • Noninvasive testing in microelectronics
  • Terahertz spectroscopy
