Datasheet

Overview

The HTS40n2 Transmitter Type 2 is a terahertz transmitter for the Luna T-Ray® 5000 terahertz measurement system. It balances high output power with high spectral bandwidth and minimizes features following the pulse. This supports high-quality images and detection of multiple layers in reflection, with less need for post-processing of the waveform.

When coupled with an HRS40n1 receiver, the HTS40n2 provides bandwidth over 3.5 THz and a signal-to-noise ratio above 70 dB. Because it balances bandwidth and power, it suits applications that need both high-resolution imaging and a broad spectral range.

The transmitter is fiber coupled, so it can be moved easily, and it is hot swappable with other T-Ray 5000 transmitters. It supports transmitted or reflected data collection and mates with the AXA40n1 collinear adapter for collinear reflection configurations. An adjustable lens tube is used for focusing, and multiple lenses are available, so the working distance can be changed by swapping lenses instead of transmitters.
