Description
Spectrum Detector, Inc. is a leader in Pyroelectric Detector technology with over 60 years of experience in the development, design and fabrication of Hybrid Detectors, Analog and Digital Detector Instruments. These broadband products are use to measure the power and/or energy of electromagnetic sources across the spectrum from 0.1 um to greater than 1000 um. Spectrum has recently designed a number of sensors and instruments that are optimized for measurements of THz sources from 0.2 to 20 THz. Our new SPH-62-THz Hybrid Pyroelectric Detector and SPH-CM-TEST offer a THz Researcher an easy way to evaluate our products for this application. It can be used to measure continuous THz sources, with the use of an optical chopper, in the power range from less than 1 uW to 100 mW or greater.

Description
Thomas Keating started - so we believe - in the 1780’s off St Paul’s Churchyard in the City of London. It was a chemists shop and through the 19 Century developed two products: A cough lozenge sold during the winter and an Insecticide sold during the summer. The latter, which became a household name, was based upon pyrethrum, although there was a rumour that the same ingredients were used in both.

Since the 1950’s a high precision toolroom making presstools and injection moulds for the watch, telephone and aerosol industries, was built up - all requiring very high precision machining.

Starting in the 1980’s these toolmaking skills and technologies have been applied to servicing the scientific community, in particular to the design and manufacture of THz instruments for cosmology, astronomy, atmospheric remote sensing, plasma fusion diagnostics and material measurements.

Description
Terahertz Technologies Inc. was founded in 1989. The focus of the company has been the design and manufacture of instruments for use with lasers and fiber optics. The evolution of the company’s product line has been customer-driven. Customer requirements are the basis for the design and development of each new or improved product.

Terahertz has developed sophisticated instruments for a diverse group of customers ranging from automobile manufacturers, fiber optic instrument manufacturers, research laboratories, photonics product manufacturers, to medical laser manufacturers, spectrometer manufacturers, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment manufacturers. Products varying from optical time domain reflectometers, optical to electrical converters, electrical to optical converters, laser tachometers, fiber optic video links, photodiode amplifiers, advanced fiber loss test sets, laser light sources, fiber optic power meters, fiber optic switches, light choppers, and custom opto-electronic products have met the needs of our customers.

The engineers at Terahertz have decades of experience in radiometric and fiber optic instrumentation. They look for the most cost-effective solution for the customer - even recommending a competitor instead of “reinventing the wheel”. Low overhead and efficient designs keeps NRE (non-recoverable engineering) costs to a minimal level.

The company motto of the “best price to performance ratio in the industry” is accurate.

Description
Located just outside Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the city of Dexter, we are dedicated to the development and manufacture of ultrafast solid-state laser systems and diagnostics. With strong links to academic research and the use of ultrafast lasers in industrial applications, we offer exciting yet reliable products to help advance the science and solve real-world problems.

The CPA-2001 laser system is the most compact and user-friendly Ti:Sapphire amplified laser system commercially available today. They produce milliJoule level pulses at kHz repetition rates in pulsewidths ranging from sub-50fs to over 10ps. High contrast ratio and near bandwidth limited performance are other key performance features. Optical transformers like the company’s Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA and NOPA), transform this performance to wavelengths tunable from the UV to the IR, greatly expanding the capability of these systems to meet the needs of many varied applications.

Accessories like the NOPA Optical Parametric Amplifier and ODL-150 scanning optical delay line. All of these products add to the availability of a total ultrafast solution from a single company, Clark-MXR, Inc.

Description
The established in year 1990 company Molecular Technology (MolTech) GmbH was initially oriented towards the development of new materials, components, as well as technologies, especially in the fields “lasers, optics, electronics”. During the further development of the company the business interests were extended to other product groups, such as laboratory devices and devices for testing of material properties.
In the year 2002 the department “Laboratory devices” was outsourced into an independent enterprise - the Berlin-based Lab4you devices development company ( Lab4you GmbH ). The new daughter company has taken over the already organized network of distribution as well as partnerships and development capacities and all existing customer obligations.
The department “XRF-devices” started active promoting of MetExpert devices and according measurement technologies in the year 2002.
Today MolTech GmbH has consumers in 34 countries worldwide, of which about 50% are from Research & Education branch and the other 50% are commercial companies.
