TeraSmart
(Compact Industry-Proven THz-TDS System)
Redefining Terahertz Technology
Our next-generation terahertz time-domain solutions set a new benchmark in speed, power, and performance.
At a 50 ps scan range, our systems deliver over 125 traces/s, 6.5 THz of bandwidth, and >100 dB of dynamic range, all in under 5 seconds.
Reducing the scan range pushes performance even further, reaching record speeds of over 330 Hz. These performance levels remain unmatched in the industry.
The newly-upgraded flagship system, TeraSmart, our most compact spectrometer, features high power TERA15 antenna modules, ultrafast optical delay unit (1700 ps), and our new transimpedance amplifier for seamless industrial, academic, or OEM integration.
The available multichannel setup options enable simultaneous measurements with multiple emitter/detector pairs, powered by a single femtosecond fiber laser oscillator.
The new TeraSmart is more versatile and customizable than ever, now supporting high-power pump-probe applications with 1 W of pump power at 780 nm.
Other enhanced features, like an intuitive software interface, new TERA Image linear stages, and intelligent TCP socket connectivity, make TeraSmart ideal for non-destructive testing and manufacturing line automation.
