Terahertz Surface Plasmon Near-Field Sensor for Material SensingApplications

In this project, we plan to address the specific problem that TeTechS Inc is facing at this stage of
its product development project, which is collecting a complete set of measurement data for an
array of organic materials with different levels of purity and demonstrate the capability of its
proprietary terahertz sensing techniques to qualify and quantify purity and integrity of organic LED
(OLED) materials with the level of precision required in OLED deposition and material purification
processes. Materials used in organic electronics pose a significant opportunity for terahertz
measurement applications. TeTechS have performed research on a subset of materials used in
organic electronics can demonstrate the effectiveness of its measurement system in detection
and quantification of the materials signatures. We believe that TeTechS’ technology can serve in
many stages of organic electronics production and enhance the quality of end products in the
organic electronic industry. There is currently no terahertz system on the market to address this
problem in the…TOBECONT’D…
