TeraSense, Inc. Information

Revolutionary patent protected Terasense® technology allows to produce a new type of semiconductor detectors of T-rays, which can operate at room temperatures. These detectors can be combined into a compact matrix (like CCD in photo camera) and are quite inexpensive. In addition to detectors, the Company has a technology for creation of T-rays "flashes" and also possesses the technology for substances detection using their individual terahertz spectral "fingerprints". Terasense® technology creates a lot of new business opportunities and applications. Some of these applications are: - Industrial: manufacturing process control, products and materials inspection, food inspection; - Biomedicine: mammography, bone tomography, endoscopy, medical diagnostics, detection of cancer and other diseases; - Imaging: detecting the contents of packages or sealed documents; - Security: detection of concealed weapons and explosives; evaluation of biological threats; airline passenger screening; - Scientific: environmental sensing, pollution detection, plasma diagnostics, chemistry and biochemistry applications; ... and many more.
