Firefly-THz

Offering a higher brightness, more practical alternative to generating THz laser light, Firefly- THz provides significant advances in the compactness, convenience and efficiency of THz sources, 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.

    Firefly-THz is a pulsed terahertz (THz) laser source that provides a unique combination of shoebox size, narrow linewidth, nanosecond output pulses (tunable over a wide & continuous range), room temperature operation, and high output power.

    Offering a higher brightness, more practical alternative to other methods for generating THz light, Firefly- THz provides significant advances in the compactness, convenience and efficiency of THz sources, by virtue of its integrated diode-pumped pump laser, sealed alignment-free laser head, and a novel optical parametric oscillator design that produces highly efficient conversion of the pump to THz wavelengths.

    With wide hands-free tuning, a readily collimated output beam, microwatt average powers, and Watt-level peak powers, Firefly-THz opens the door to a new generation of more practical, cost-effective THz sources. Incorporating proprietary Instrument Control by Ethernet (ICE) functionality, Firefly-THz also provides local/ remote control and monitoring via any standard Web/LAN/direct Ethernet connection. A netbook control computer, software user interface, and THz wavelength calibration port, all included as standard, ensure out-of-the-box productivity and ready integration into any application.

    A host of applications include: THz spectroscopy; non-destructive testing (NDT); the remote detection, analysis and imaging of drugs, explosives and other threat agents, and bio-medical diagnostics. Firefly-THz complies with all applicable regulatory design standards, including safety, CE, CDRH and RoHS/WEEE. Customization of Firefly-THz is available - please inquire.
