Rainbow Photonics was founded as a spin-off company from the Nonlinear Optics Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, in 1997. The company offers a series of novel terahertz instruments for imaging and spectroscopy. Their technology uses organic crystals for fast electro-optics and terahertz-wave generation and detection.
TeraSys-AiO
TeraSys®-AiO: Spectroscopy and Analysis of Materials in the THz Range up to 20 THz
The TeraSys-AiO provides a flexible solution for laboratory THz spectroscopy and imaging. It offers maximum flexibility with measurement capabilities in transmission and reflection without realignment of the optics. It is based on organic crystals, to allow access to terahertz frequencies not available with conventional antennas. The TeraSys-AiO includes all optical, mechanical and electronic components for the generation and detection of THz waves such as delay line, terahertz generator, terahertz detector, pump source optics, electronics, humidity sensor, purge chamber, dedicated software, and laptop.

TeraTune
TeraTune®: Tunable Narrowband Terahertz Source with a Tuning Range of 1.5 to 20 THz
The TeraTune provides a tunable narrowband terahertz source with a tuning range from 1.5 to 20 THz and a bandwidth of less than 100 GHz. The basic TeraTune is based on a flash lamp pumped laser (repetition rate 50 Hz to 200 Hz) with a special optical parametric oscillator (OPO) where one wavelength is tuned electronically with a special design to keep the bandwidth below 100 GHz. Other diode pumped laser systems can be offered. The variable wavelength is calibrated and the THz difference frequency is computer controlled (tuning range 1 to 20 THz). Terahertz radiation is generated via frequency mixing in the novel organic nonlinear optical crystal DSTMS, ideally suited to achieve highest terahertz conversion efficiency. The TeraTune includes all optical, mechanical, and electronic components for the generation of THz waves and software control.
Specifications
- THz Frequency Tunable: 1-20 THz
