About Terahertz Technology

Terahertz is the last unexplored frontier of the electromagnetic spectrum. Through its subsidiary, Picometrix, Advanced Photonix, is the leader of robust terahertz instrumentation with its T Ray(TM) product line. Terahertz is a new disruptive technology for non-destructive testing by combining subsurface imaging and chemical analysis. Terahertz can see through most materials, yielding high spatial resolution similar to the human eye and greater than microwave imaging. Terahertz imaging has the ability to provide precise depth resolution for 3D imaging, significantly better than x-ray. It is safe for humans and therefore has significant potential to be applied to many applications including: on-line non-destructive testing for quality control of products and packaging for industrial markets; weapons and explosives detection for Homeland Security and Defense markets; topical imaging for the Medical market; quality control of external skins on space vehicles for the Aerospace and Military markets and many more.
