Terahertz Antennas for 800 nm

• Photoconductive Switch Optimized for Lasers Around 800 nm and Pulse Width <150 fs at 100 MHz Repetition Rate
• 1 Wrapped Dipole Structure on Each Chip
• Low Temperature Grown GaAs Dipole Structures
• Each Device is Tested and Ships with Individualized Test Report

The TERA8-1 is a single dipole structure. The antenna can be used as an emitter or as a detector. The T8-H2 holder for the photoconductive THz antenna includes a focusing lens for optical beams and Si Lens for THz Waves. Menlo Systems introduced the TERA8-1 to the market with our collaborator IPM, Fraunhofer Institut für Physikalische Messtechnik.

Terahertz Antennas for 1550 nm

• Optimized for Lasers Around 1560 nm and Pulse Widths <150 fs at 100 MHz
• Antenna Design Specified for Emitter/Receiver Applications
• Each Device is Tested and Ships with Individualized Test Report
• Patented LT InGaAs/In-AlAs on InP Multi Layer Structure

The TERA15-SL25 and TERA15-DP25 THz antennas can be incorporated into OEM systems and are used in Menlo Systems’ TERA15-SL25-FC and TERA15-DP25-FC fiber-coupled antenna modules. The emitter and detector antennas have optimized structures for <150 fs optical pulses at 1560 nm to increase signal-to-noise ratio. The fiber-coupled THz antennas are used in the fully fiber-coupled TERA-K15 terahertz spectrometer. Menlo Systems brings the newest generation of the TERA15 to the market with its collaborator, the Fraunhofer-Institut für Nachrichtentechnik Heinrich-Hertz-Institut.
