Three-dimensional real-world Terahertz mapping system for high value coatings

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The proposed project is transformative in terms of producing innovative technology that moves Terahertz inspection into the real three-dimensional world, and dramatically increases the breadth and depth of market opportunities for Terahertz products.Our proposal will move Terahertz measurements of industrial coating thickness from its current limitations to two dimensional, largely planar objects into the three-dimensional world involving contoured surfaces and complex shapes. The ground-breaking 3D mapping platform developed in this project builds upon and will dramatically enhance the capabilities of TeraView's existing TeraCota system for measuring industrial coating thickness in the automotive industry. This innovation will also open up new markets in aerospace and other industrial coatings applications for the TeraCota system.
