About
National Physical Laboratory awarded a contract to Toptica Photonics for the supply of a terahertz time-domain spectrometer, valued at AUD 72,720.
The instrument is intended primarily for material characterisation, enabling measurement of THz optical properties across a wide variety of materials and sample types.
It is designed for easy reconfiguration to switch between transmission and reflection measurements and other configurations, with a primary requirement for large measurement bandwidth and high dynamic range in both time-domain and frequency-domain data.
