Patents

TeraView has been working on terahertz generation (both pulsed and continuous) and its application for close to 20 years and today has around 63 granted patents and a similar number of patents pending.

TeraViews Superior Bandwidth and S/N

The company’s initial focus was around generating the optimum quality signal. At the core of this is the emitter design with its on-chip resistor. This design has been shown to give superior

i. Rise time
ii. Band width
iii. Signal to noise
iv. Reliability

This all means that a TeraView machine reliably and reproducibly gives higher resolution imaging and spectroscopy

More recently the company has focused around applications, with key patents covering:

• Pharmaceuticals – Tablet imaging and polymorph analysis and the correlation with dissolution testing.
• Security – Stand-off explosive detection
• Semiconductor – Use of terahertz is fault analysis
• Medical– Use of terahertz in cancer detection

Today the company remains committed to maintaining its lead in the area and as such continues to push the boundaries of the technology. It does this both independently and through collaborations.
