Facebook X LinkedIn Email
QUEBEC CITY, June 7, 2010 — Canada-based laser beam measurement products maker Gentec Electro-Optics Inc. said it has strengthened its US presence by acquiring laser and terahertz measurement manufacturer Spectrum Detector Inc. of Oregon for an undisclosed amount. With the acquisition, Gentec said it will now have measurement products for the new and rapidly expanding terahertz market, ultrasensitive optical joulemeters for applications down to femtojoules, instruments for pulse to pulse energy measurements up to 130 kHz and optical TRAP detectors that act as primary calibration standards, among others.

    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...
