M Squared, St. Andrews To Develop THz Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Glasgow, Scotland-based M Squared Lasers Ltd. has announced a partnership with the University of St. Andrews, in Fife, to develop and commercialize a new laser-based source that they said will have applications including medical diagnostics, nondestructive testing and the detection of greenhouse gases, drugs, explosives and other hazardous materials. M Squared Lasers, formed in 2005 by Graeme Malcolm and Gareth Maker, will produce products based on novel mid-infrared and terahertz (THz) laser technology developed by the Photonics Innovation Centre and Nonlinear Optics Group at St. Andrews. M Squared makes diode-pumped solid-state lasers and related systems for scientific research and commercial applications. Malcolm and Maker were previously cofounders of Microlase Optical Systems, which was sold to Coherent Inc. in 1999.

Glossary
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
terahertz
Terahertz (THz) refers to a unit of frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, denoting waves with frequencies between 0.1 and 10 terahertz. One terahertz is equivalent to one trillion hertz, or cycles per second. The terahertz frequency range falls between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Key points about terahertz include: Frequency range: The terahertz range spans from approximately 0.1 terahertz (100 gigahertz) to 10 terahertz. This corresponds to...
