Frequently Asked Questions

The TERA K15 is a fiber-coupled terahertz spectrometer that provides a complete solution for fast broadband time-domain THz spectroscopy.

The TERA K15 system includes a figure 9® femtosecond laser source at 1.5 μm emission wavelength, fiber-coupled optical light path with delay line, a THz wave path with THz Emitter, THz detector and TPX THz optics, control electronics and a PC with data acquisition and evaluation software.

The TERA K15 offers a high spectral (THz) resolution below 1.2 GHz, and customers demanding superior spectral resolution (<0.7 GHz) can opt for the long scan range (>1600 ps).

The TERA K15 can be used for various applications such as testbed for THz components, characterization of solid state THz sources, investigation of charge carrier dynamics, characterization of quantum cascade lasers, THz plasmonics, investigation of synchrotron radiation, chemical fingerprinting, material characterization, THz imaging, and non-destructive testing (NDT).

Yes, the system’s laser source is synchronizable to an external source, and can be extended by additional laser output ports at 780 nm and 1560 nm. To perform THz-TDS with optical sample excitation at those wavelengths, the TERA K15 setup can be upgraded with our THz-Pump-Probe add-on.
