| The terahertz spectrum lies between long infrared and microwave frequencies.  Interesting for two reasons: • THz imaging can see through clothing, and into sealed
 packages 
                          and luggage without the dangers of ionizing
 radiation produced by X-rays
 • Different molecular species can be better differentiated
 than by other spectroscopic techniques:
 for medical, pharmaceutical and agricultural applications
  
     
 THz has been little exploited before now... for lack of a practical 
                          imaging technique, convenient spectral filtering, and a THz illuminator smaller than a piano.
 
 Zyberwear has a three-prong approach to THz technology, producing the strongest THz
 techology foundation in the world.
 
 A. THZ FOCAL PLANE ARRAY for a camera: this uncooled focal plane array has an
 extreme sensitivity, with noise equivalence of 0.1 microwatt/mm2.
 
 B. THZ SCANNING SPECTRAL FILTER to make a spectral camera. Thus a guard may
  quickly screen luggage or a passenger for contraband or threats. The dynamite, 
                          cocaine, C4 or marijuana shows up as a bright white shape in the image.
 
 NASA wants it for spectral analysis of planetary and nebular gases.
 
 C. THZ LASER ILLUMINATOR: a novel 10 watt laser scannable over the THz spectrum...
 and smaller than a bread box.
 
 This THz technology ensemble will be available for government and commercial markets in late 2007.
