Firefly-THz
High Brightness, Narrow Linewidth Pulsed, Tunable Terahertz Laser Source
A high brightness practical alternative for generating terahertz laser light, the Firefly-THz laser provides compactness, convenience and efficiency by virtue of its integrated pump laser, sealed maintenance-free laser head, and a novel optical parametric oscillator design that produces widely tunable and high power THz output.
Applications
THz spectroscopy
Non-destructive testing (NDT)
The remote detection, analysis and imaging of drugs, explosives and other threat agents
Bio-medical diagnostics
Features
Widely tunable, narrow linewidth output enables broad, fast THz wavelength scans from a single unit
High brightness provides greater sensitivity and standoff distance for remote sensing/spectroscopy
Automated, hands-free operation & wavelength tuning for increased productivity
Pulsed nanosecond output removes the need for post-detection Fourier transformdata processing
Unique Instrument Control by Ethernet (ICE)
Unique InvarianT™ alignment-free mounts Laptop
computer, software UI and compact laser controller supplied as standard (not shown)
