08.07.2007 - PB7100 THz Frequency-Domain Spectrometer
The PB7100 Series is a frequency-domain system for characterization of samples in the 100 GHz to 2.5 THz frequency range. The PB7100 system produces a swept CW source signal that is detected by a swept receiver, in similar fashion to a microwave network analyzer.
This approach overcomes the limitations of previous time-domain FFT-based THz spectroscopy techniques and provides unmatched frequency accuracy, resolution and detection sensitivity in an easy-to-use automated laboratory instrument. The system relies on a proprietary EMCORE advanced heterodyne semiconductor laser hybrid photonic “engine” to generate pure CW THz signals over a broad frequency range, working in concert with a patent-pending low-noise THz detection technique to achieve unprecedented performance in a compact form factor without cryogenic cooling. In addition, EMCORE has an active development program in THz technology and also develops customized solutions based on its extensive portfolio of intellectual property.
