THz series standard

STANDARD SERIES

These sensors are optimised for use in the THz range. They are compact, have a large active
area and a short response time.

The basic principle is the absorption of radiation pulses from a pulsed or chopper-modulated cw radiation source on an absorption layer.

The combination with a low-noise current amplifier enables the power of the radiation source to be measured.

For very short signals, it is also possible to use these sensors in combination with a voltage
amplifier (e.g. VPA) as energy sensors in the uu and mJ range.

All sensors are calibrated by PTB Germany using a preamplifier at a wavelength of 1.4 THz.
Other wavelengths are available on request.
