Hamamatsu Photonics has mass-produced the world's first terahertz (THz) wave detection module by utilizing our newly developed metasurface technology and our long-cultivated photomultiplier tube and image intensifier technologies. We offer two products: THz photomultiplier tube (THz PMT) modules, and THz image intensifiers (THz I.I.), which can detect THz wave pulse signals at high speed and with high sensitivity at room temperature.

Both products are the world's first modules to apply field electron emission technology (*1) to THz wave detection. They have unique properties that are not found anywhere else. These products are expected to further accelerate basic and applied research on THz waves for applications in drug discovery, analysis, semiconductors, non-destructive testing, and more.

Universities and research institutes can order both products from Monday 14th April.
