TeraFlash smart
The TeraFlash smart is TOPTICA’s ultrafast time-domain terahertz spectroscopy platform, purpose-built for high-speed industrial and scientific applications. Based on TOPTICA’s proprietary ECOPS technology (Electronically Controlled Optical Sampling), it employs two synchronized femtosecond lasers and completely eliminates the need for a mechanical delay line. This innovative design ensures robust operation, minimal maintenance, and reliable performance even under adverse ambient conditions.
Thanks to this architecture, the TeraFlash smart achieves measurement speeds of up to 1,600 complete terahertz waveforms per second, while maintaining a wide bandwidth and a high dynamic range . Such ultrafast data acquisition makes it uniquely suited for non-contact thickness gauging, resolving layer thicknesses down to the micrometer regime. Another application scenario is quality control on rapidly moving samples, from conveyor belts to polymer extrusion lines and papermaking machines, where conventional THz systems cannot keep pace.
Combining compact design, fiber-coupled flexibility, and industry-leading speed, the TeraFlash smart redefines what is possible in terahertz inspection and analysis. It offers customers a reliable, future-ready platform for real-time process monitoring and advanced material research.
