Introducing Carmen. Terahertz based NDT for industrial quality assurance

Carmen is an optical NDT device based on terahertz lightwaves. Terahertz opens up for entirely new applications as the lightwaves can travel deep inside a wide range of materials enabling access to information otherwise completely hidden.

We have a vision of not only making a high performing terahertz device, but also making it accessible to a large audience through ease of use, safety and portability.

Easy setup

Be ready to measure within minutes of unpacking. The device can be equipped with a range of accessories for easy alignment.

Robust design

The device is designed for industry. The base model can handle most environments, but if you have special requirements, we will find a solution.

Customizable

The base model can handle many tasks, but there are endless possibilities for customizing both hardware and software

Safe

Terahertz lightwaves are completely harmless to humans and any organic material. There's no need for protective gear or special training.
Novel terahertz technology

True Terahertz for industry

Terahertz lightwaves has long been deemed the future of optical NDT, and now it's finally ready and available for industrial applications.
The research into terahertz has been extensive, as terahertz has some very unique capabilities that differs greatly from other parts of the light spectrum. It can penetrate a large range of materials allowing the user to gain information from deep within, or far behind, the sample of interest.

High signal strength

The optically generated terahertz signal gives a high signal strength allowing retrieval of information deep within the sample.

Reliable and stable

Continuous operation without drift or need for manual calibration.

Powerful software

Advanced analysis algorithms

The many applications for terahertz lightwaves demands specialized software performing advanced analysis and outputting simple results. If you are looking for specific parameters, for example a layer thickness, the result is presented directly with minimal input requirements from you. If your sample is more complex, you can take a deep interactive look into your sample and find potential anomalies hiding under the surface.

Actionable output

Get a simple value for the material characteristic that has value to you in a second.

API

With our API, you can perform your own analysis or integrate our solutions directly into your existing digital QA platform.

The device

It's all about terahertz

The fundamental function of our device is to generate and detect terahertz lightwaves, which is generally not an easy thing to do. But it's worth the effort, since terahertz lightwaves can look deep inside a wide range of materials.
Our device is based on "terahertz cross-correlation spectroscopy" which utilizes broadband continuous light centered at 1550nm to generate a broadband continuous terahertz signal. Through a process of cross-correlation, the terahertz lightwaves are transformed into a pulse-like signal. If you direct the signal towards a sample, and detect the reflection, you can obtain rich information about the sample.
