Lookin develops terahertz scanners for high-throughput and high-sensitivity material characterization and quality control.
Terahertz waves can penetrate through many optically opaque materials, allowing us to see inside many environments that are visually inaccessible. In addition, most molecules have unique spectral signatures at terahertz frequencies, enabling us to identify them under terahertz illumination. Furthermore, terahertz waves are non-ionizing and non-destructive and, therefore, do not pose a health risk. The combination of these attractive specifications, provides a unique platform for many non-destructive quality control applications. Lookin develops scanners utilizing terahertz waves for various quality control applications where high-throughput and high-sensitivity operation is needed.
