High speed linear THz camera
· Image acquisition rate: 5 KHz (5000 fps).
· Scanning speed: up to 15m/sec.
· Optimized at frequency~100GHz.
· Spectral Range:50GHz-0.7THz
· Number of pixels (scalable): 256 x 1.
· TeraFast® Viewer software.
· Software Developer's Kit(SDK).
High Speed Linear THz camera is our brand new product, which features both, unprecedented
imaging speed of 5000 frames per second and ease of integration into any industrial process.
Its ultrafast linear sensor array is built to satisfy the needs in Non- Destructive Testing (NDT)
and Quality Control (QC) for many industrial applications employing high speed conveyors belts.
This product fits most conveyors with a belt speed up to 15 m/s.
Our Linear Terahertz Imaging System consists of two parts: a terahertz imaging camera and
THz generator, both optimized & synchronized to each other. The generator is supplied with a
specially configured horn antenna designed to cover the entire imaging area across conveyor
belt. The horn spreads THz beam evenly and ensures that the whole THz radiation power is
properly delivered from the generator into the camera. The camera pixel size determines image
resolution of 1.5 mm, which is more than ample to support imaging in most industrial applications.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:
· No ionizing radiation
· Extremely high image acquisition rate (5kHz)
· Ease of integration into industrial process
· CE Certification of Compliance
· Plug-and-Play design and customized solutions
· LOW COST

SOURCES FOR THE LINEAR CAMERA
TeraSense offers two types of generators, both based on IMPATT technology. Our Type I generator has a horn antenna with a specially designed PTFE refractive optical system. The configuration of the PTFE lenses ensures proper focusing of the THz beam onto the linear window of the camera. The Type II generator is an upgraded version of the THz source. It utilizes our most recent breakthroughs in THz technology which enables the enhanced performance of the THz imaging scanner. The Type II module includes our novel reflective THz optics based on our specially configured high-gain horn antenna in combination with a metallic mirror. The Type II sources are made from exceptional IMPATT diodes that deliver significantly more power than the average diode. The Type II generator considerably improves the THz imaging capabilities of our linear scanner by increasing the amount of power reaching the sensor array.

Applications
Rapid non-destructive, non-invasive characterization and imaging of objects / defects in uniform materials or under coated surfaces has never been easier and faster than with our high speed camera codenamed TeraFAST. Its record breaking image acquisition rate opens up doors to many industrial applications associated with Non-destructive testing, quality control and process control.
Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Industries
Non-destructive testing (NDT) of drugs, medical products and baby’s
diapers at industrial production lines.
Wood Processing Industry
Detecting concealed hollows, internal forms, shapes and/or defects
saves a lot of time on inspections.Wood analysis - checking wood for
water / moisture inside.
Food Industry
Non-invasive technique for monitoring availability / number ofhazel nuts
inside of chocolate candy (already wrapped and packaged);detecting
any plastic debris, extraneous bodies or inhomogeneous parts (clots)
inside ready food products.
FMCG packaging
Checking availability of items inside packages as a process control step;
detecting foreign objects inside packaging meant to exclude human error
or defective items inside the package.
Construction Materials and Building Trades
Use THz imaging camera at manufacturing facilities or at construction
sites to find out inhomogeneous elements or moisture in concrete, floor
screed, plaster, wall paint etc.
Automotive Industry
Indentify presence (or absence) of steel objects (viz. wires) or foreign
bodies & elements inside of rubber tires.Inspect fitted tires on wheels
to identify special run-flat nylon inserts attachedto alloy wheels inside
a tire, precluding tiresome tire removal for visual inspection.
Agriculture and Livestock farming
Potato selection process running on conveyor belt aimed to separate
planting-potatoes from mud clumps and stones. Measure the thickness
of a wool coat on a live sheep.
Security screening and Letter scanning
Homeland security: identification of hidden objects concealed in bags
at the airports or check-points.Checking the contents of envelopes and
parcels.
