Buyer’s guide. Terahertz (THz) cameras

Many academic research laboratories use terahertz cameras to characterise sources, align optical tables, study physical phenomena, etc. At the same time, more and more applied research teams, in R&D institutes and companies, use these cameras to investigate the applications of terahertz imaging in varied domains such as security, non-destructive testing, or environment and health issues. In response to these needs, mature uncooled terahertz cameras are now being commercialized.
