Gentec-EO THZ12D-3S-VP-D0 Terahertz Detector for power measurements up to 3 W.

Gentec-EO offer a range of Terahertz detectors for power measurement, including the model THZ12D-3S-VP-D0 for up to 3 watts. 

RELATIVE MEASUREMENTS FROM 0.1 TO 30 THZ

Broadband, room temperature operation, easier to use and less expensive than a Golay cell

FLAT SPECTRAL RESPONSE

Get the best precision accross the entire wavelength range.

MEASURE HIGHER POWERS

Up to 3 W of continuous power with the THZ12D model, the highest in our THz range of products

LARGE APERTURE

Models range from 9 to 12 mm Ø aperture.

CALIBRATED AT 10.6 µM

THZ-D detectors are calibrated at a single wavelength (10.6 µm) and include wavelength correction data from 10.6 to 440 µm. They are used for relative measurements outside that range.
