PB7200 Portable Frequency Domain Terahertz Spectrometer DATASHEET | AUGUST 2013 TERAHERTZ SYSTEMS Compact, Portable Terahertz Spectroscopy System EMCORE’s versatile PB7200 Spectroscopy Platform is designed for scanning complex compounds to precise specifications with greater accuracy and control. The PB7200 is ideal for THz researchers and application developers who need to study the properties of materials at THz frequencies with high-resolution, but who don’t want to design and build their own high-resolution THz spectroscopy system. The PB7200 can sweep up to 2.0 THz in a single rapid scan with frequency resolution better than 0.25 GHz. The PB7200 employs precisely tuned, fiber-coupled butterfly packaged semiconductor DFB lasers, advanced photo-mixing source and detector, and sophisticated digital control hardware and software to provide a fully turnkey laboratory THz spectrometer. The room temperature solid-state homodyne detection technique eliminates the need for cryogenics. The highly efficient CW nature of the photo-mixing source puts all the THz power at the frequency of interest, yielding excellent signal-to-noise ratios across the scan range of up to 70 dB Hz. Applications Threat Signature Characterization o Explosives o Biologicals o Chemicals Microwave and THz Spectroscopy Materials Characterization Unlike time-domain systems requiring expensive mode-locked lasers, the tunable semiconductor laser diodes in the PB7200 can support linear scans or can ‘frequency hop’ between frequencies of interest to scan specific regions of the spectrum with varying degrees of resolution. The latest ‘snap-in-place’ fiber-optically coupled source and detector heads are mounted on a rail system and configured for transmission measurements. They may also be detached from the processor unit and used with extended fiber optic cables for maximum measurement flexibility in a wide range of applications, in either transmission or reflection modes. The new terahertz heads make the PB7200 not only lighter and more compact, but easier to assemble and tear down. The PB7200’s latest software package includes smoothing functions and background subtraction features. The software automatically downloads the calibration files from the PB7200 which makes setting up multiple computers easy.
