THz Non-Destructive Testing

Terahertz sources allow for non-destructive testing (NDT) by enabling contact-free, high-resolution inspection of non-metallic materials, revealing layer thicknesses, hidden structural or chemical features for real-time quality control, safety assurance, and process optimization across diverse industries. The generation of terahertz signals with pulsed lasers bridges the long-standing “terahertz gap”: the frequency range between microwaves and infrared where efficient sources had long been scarce.
