EMCORE Corporation announced today its latest breakthrough in terahertz technology with the release of the new PB7220-2000-T/R Two-Channel Portable Frequency Domain Terahertz (THz) Spectrometer. The PB7220-2000-T/R is capable of simultaneous phase coherent measurements of both the transmission and the reflection properties of a sample. The second channel allows a single system to collect sample information at various angles of reflection or scattering from the sample while continuously monitoring the transmission.

The PB7220-2000-T/R expands EMCORE¡¯s terahertz spectrometer line which also includes the PB7220-2000-T single channel system. EMCORE¡¯s PB7220 series THz spectrometers are designed for THz researchers and application developers who need to study the properties of materials at THz frequencies with high resolution, but don¡¯t have the resources or personnel skilled in the complexities of optical measurements. They are economical and portable THz systems that can sweep from 100 GHz to over 1.8 THz in a single rapid scan with high-frequency resolution. The PB7220 series employs precisely tuned, fiber-coupled, semiconductor distributed feedback lasers along with a highly advanced photo-mixing source that puts all the THz power at the frequency of interest, yielding excellent signal-to-noise ratios across the scan range. In addition, the PB7220 series features sophisticated digital control hardware and software to provide a fully turnkey, portable THz spectrometer system.

¡°The PB7220 two-channel system is the most significant advancement in our THz technology since the introduction of PB7100 THz spectrometer in 2006,¡± said Dr. Joseph Demers, Director of Advanced Photonics for EMCORE. ¡°The industry has been seeking an economical two-channel system that can allow the simultaneous measurement of both the transmission and reflection properties of a sample. This added versatility in our THz platform makes it an even more valuable and flexible tool for a wider range of research, defense and homeland security related applications,¡± added Dr. Demers.
