mini-Z THz Time Domain Spectrometers

The most compact, fully integrated THz Time Domain Spectrometer, weighing in at less than 5 lbs with true turn-key operation. Produces and measures pulsed terahertz waves from 0.1 to 4.0 THz using time domain spectroscopy techniques in both transmission and reflection geometries with a waveform measurement of up to 500 Hz. Flexible enough for laboratory use and prototyping THz applications, but also designed to be integrated into larger systems requiring THz capabilities.

Zomega Air Photonics (ZAP) THz TDS

ZAP is a Terahertz Time Domain Spectrometer which uses air-plasma to generate and detect ultra-broadband terahertz from 0.3 - 20 THz. Coherent detection over the entire THz spectrum and into the far-infrared, with electric fields in excess of 100 kV/cm unlocks a new field of non-linear THz spectroscopy, for the first time available in a commercial package. The system works with many amplified laser systems provided by Coherent and Spectraphysics, and can be bundled with an optimized laser on request.

Components

Autobalance Detectors

This ABL-100 Autobalance Detector provides an integrated balanced detection system for electro-optical (EO) detection of THz. The auto-balancing feature provides automatic tuning for hands-free, stable detection under slowly varying environmental conditions which can shift the probe beam balance through the EO crystal.
