Possibilities and characteristics of terahertz technology

Terahertz waves

  • ... penetrate foams, plastics, ceramics and many other non-conductive materials
  • ... is ideally suited for the investigation of surface and interfacial areas and for the detection of material defects
  • ... have no problem with cavities in objects to be examined
  • ... permit quickly, reliably and efficiently in real-time measurements
  • ... film thickness can measure up to 500mm
  • ... do not penetrate into biological material and are completely safe for humans
  • ... not suitable for examination of metals and other conductive materials
  • ... structures <1mm can't be reproduced
  • ... can't look behind water or wet surfaces
