• THz emitter and detector photoconductive antennas with aspheric focusing THz 
lenses with 50 mm THz beam focus length
• Optics for laser beams
• optical delay line for delay of 500 ps (<5 GHz resolution)
• breadboard 600 mm x 450 mm x 50.8 mm with the adjusted and tested THz 
spectrometer. The THz antenna distance is 100 mm. The THz focus is on the 
midpoint between the antennas
• Laptop with software T3DS, complete electronics with pulse generator, 
amplifier and lock-in detector. The software allows measurement of THz pulse and 
calculates in-situ the THz spectrum. It includes the calibration procedures for 
100 % transmittance and the calculation of the spectral transmittance and 
absorbance of a sample.
• Instruction manual for the THz spectrometer and test report
with the following data:
- Supply voltage 115 .. 230 V
- dynamic range > 60 dB
- useful spectral region 0.05 to > 3 THz
- scan range 500 ps (< 3 GHz resolution)
- THz focus position 50 mm away from the antennas
- Fast scan duration 10 s
- Slow scan duration 8 min
Optional: Spectrometer housing with closed sample box for nitrogen gas purging
Optional: Additional set of emitter and detector antenna with aspheric 
collimating THz lenses for 12 mm THz beam diameter for replacement of the 
antennas with focusing THz lenses
Lead time: 1 month

    New laser spectrometer 
    T&D-scan for research  that 
    demands high resolution and high spectral 
density in UV-VIS-NIR spectral domains - now available with 
    new pump option! The T&D-scan includes a CW ultra-wide-tunable narrow-line laser, high-precision wavelength meter, an electronic control unit driven through USB interface as well as a software package. Novel advanced design of the fundamental laser component implements efficient intra-cavity frequency doubling as well as provides a state-of-the-art combined ultra-wide-tunable Ti:Sapphire & Dye laser capable of covering together a super-broad spectral range between 275 and 1100 nm. Wavelength selection components as well as the position of the non-linear crystal are precisely tuned by a closed-loop control system, which incorporates highly accurate wavelength meter. Reserve a
