Applications
Discover the full potential of our broadband THz technology across science, industry and next-generation communication.
Research and development
Go where no one has gone before! Tune continuously from 1-12 THz with sub-MHz precision.
Resolve individual rotational lines, drive coherent spectroscopy of quantum materials, and explore new windows in astrochemistry and fundamental physics from a single, compact platform.
Running projects on: first high-resolution spectroscopy on low pressure gases from 5-12 THz; biomarker detection in breath analysis; InSitu Gas monitoring of CH3OH, D2O and NH3
Non-Destructive Testing
Terahertz waves penetrate many non-conductive materials (polymers, composites, foams, ceramics) while being strongly sensitive to changes in density, thickness, and water content. This enables non-destructive, depth-resolved inspection for hidden defects, delaminations, and inclusions in industrial components—without ionizing radiation, contact, or cutting the part open.
Current Focus: CFRP, Plastic investigation
Industrial Gas Monitoring
Terahertz radiation probes the unique rotational and vibrational “fingerprints” of many industrial gases, enabling highly selective, line-resolved detection even in complex mixtures. This allows non-contact, in-situ monitoring of leaks and concentrations over pipes, reactors, and storage systems—improving safety, process control, and regulatory compliance without consumables.

Next Generation Comunication
Terahertz carriers offer ultra-wide bandwidths, enabling data rates far beyond today’s microwave and millimeter-wave links-ideal for ultra-fast backhaul, short-range wireless, and chip-to-chip communication. Their strong directionality and limited range naturally confine signals to line-of-sight paths, reducing interference and enabling dense spatial reuse in complex industrial and urban environments.
Running projects on: OTA TeraFET antenna charecterisation
Security Applications Substance Identification
Terahertz waves penetrate clothing, packaging, and plastics while remaining non-ionizing, enabling safe stand-off screening at checkpoints and along logistics chains. With our tunable CW THz source, security systems can not only spot hidden items but also identify hazardous substances, eg explosives, by their unique spectral fingerprints.
