Terahertz NDT
T-Ray 5000 TCU52nm
The T-Ray® 5000 is the first compact pulsed terahertz measurement system that is robust enough to be deployed in an industrial environment and has all of the flexibility provided by our fibre coupled sensor heads in a rack mount package.
The T-Ray® 5000 product family allows state of the art terahertz research to be performed quickly and easily. The modular construction and patented fibre-coupling of the T-Ray® 5000 and its sensors allow for a variety of configurations to be re-arranged to perform a large number of test scenarios.

Overview
Control Unit
The T-Ray® 5000 Control Unit is appropriate for use in industrial, non-destructive testing and scientific applications. It monitors and controls all aspects of THz generation and detection. It delivers precisely controlled optical signals to the terahertz transmitters and receivers, or the T-Gauge® Sensor Heads, enabling them to generate and receive terahertz signals. Measured data are processed within the Control Unit at a rate of up to 1 kHz, making the T-Ray® 5000 one of the fastest terahertz systems available.
