TeraView Limited, or TeraView, is a company that designs terahertz imaging and spectroscopy instruments and equipment for measurement and evaluation of pharmaceutical tablets, nanomaterials, ceramics and composites, integrated circuit chips and more.〔("TeraView Company Overview" )〕 TeraView was co-founded by Michael Pepper (CSO) and Dr Don Arnone (CEO) as a spin-out of Toshiba Research Europe in April 2001.〔("About TeraView" )〕 The company was set up to exploit the intellectual property and expertise developed in sourcing and detecting terahertz radiation (1 THz= 33.3 cm−1), using semiconductor technologies. Leading industry proponents of the technology sit on its Advisory Board, and TeraView maintains close links with the Cavendish Laboratory〔("University of Cambridge Enterprise" )〕 at the University of Cambridge, which was one of the research universities which had an interest in Terahertz techniques. It is also where Professor Pepper,〔("University College London, Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and the London Centre for Nanotechnology" )〕 has held the position of Professor of Physics since 1987. == Products == TeraView has developed a number of instruments that harness the properties of terahertz radiation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teraview.com/products/index.html )〕 Terahertz light has some interesting application. Many common materials and living tissues are semi-transparent and have ‘terahertz fingerprints’,〔("What is Terahertz? - Terahertz fingerprints" )〕 permitting them to be imaged, identified, and analyzed. Moreover, the non-ionizing properties of terahertz radiation and the relatively low power levels used, indicate that it is safe. * TPS Spectra 3000 - spectrometer with modular sample compartment for transmission, attenuated total reflection analysis, cryostats, variable temperature cells and reflection modules for imaging.〔 Spectral range – 0.06 THz to 3.6 THz (2 cm−1 – 120 cm−1). * EOTPR 2000 - Electro optical terahertz pulsed reflectometer - spectrometer for identification and isolation of faults on interconnects of advanced packages, such as flip chip, package on package (PoP) and potentially through-silicon vias.〔 * CW Spectra 400 - Continuous wave terahertz spectrometer with imaging capabilities that utilizes GaAs-based photomixers and optical fibres.〔 By applying different software analysis packages, the same base technologies can be brought to bear to several applications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TeraView」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
