Teraphysics Corporation

Teraphysics Corporation develops devices that operate in the terahertz band, the last unexploited frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are numerous frequencies that lie just above and below the THz band, such as infra-red and microwave, and commercially they have led to multi-billion dollar industries such as optical fiber, satellite communications, radar and cell phones. Because of the difficulty of operating in this band, it is frequently referred to as the “Terahertz Gap.” Why hasn’t the THz band been exploited? It is not because a lack of potential applications. In fact, many applications in product inspection, food safety, communications, medical imaging, and security have been demonstrated in laboratories. Commercialization has lagged because of the absence of compact sources and amplifiers of sufficient power to enable development of these opportunity areas. Teraphysics has successfully developed a practical family of miniaturized THz devices capable of generating and amplifying high levels of THz light. 

Teraphysics is closely collaborating with TeraView, Ltd., a UK company and global leader in the development and sale of THz products and applications. The combination of Teraphysics’ amplification capabilities, coupled with TeraView’s unparalleled applications knowledge and existing product, provides a unique opportunity to grow the Terahertz market. With its technology and key commercial relationships, the Teraphysics’ goal is to create a vertically integrated entity that will dominate THz commercialization in the coming years, with no visible competition on the horizon.
