TeraSense has developed an original patent-protected technology for making a new generation of semiconductor detector arrays for terahertz imaging. The detectors developed by TeraSense have high sensitivity compared to other available detectors working in the THz range (0.1 — 0.7) THz. TeraSense detectors have an advantage with their low cost and ease of fabrication in large quantities in the form of 2D arrays, thanks to compatibility of the TeraSense technology with mass-production lines of semiconductor industry. The detector arrays are scalable in the number of pixels.

TeraSense imaging chips enable to produce an extremely compact and sensitive THz camera. It is essential that the spatial resolution of such a camera is around 1 mm and its registration time is less than 1 second. This makes it possible to effectively use TeraSense imaging chips for medical diagnostics, non-destructive testing and many other terahertz applications.
