Lake Shore will exhibit at the 2013 SPIE Defense, Security and Sensing (DSS) conference, April 29 to May 3 in Baltimore. Lake Shore will present its new terahertz (THz) materials characterization system and THz band pass filters at DSS, one of the largest exhibitions for optics, photonics, and imaging technology for defense and security applications.

Lake Shore’s BPF Series THz band pass filters block noise and improve signal detection and imaging due to their novel free-standing metal mesh technology, and are commonly used in THz and millimeter wave imaging, security and spectroscopy. The THz filters join Lake Shore’s line of IR band pass and IR long pass filters. A special show discount will be available to attendees.

As the terahertz gap holds much interest and promise for the Defense and Security community, Lake Shore will highlight its THz materials characterization system at DSS. The system, currently in testing at several key research institutions, is expected to provide new insight into the physical properties of emerging new materials being explored for high-speed computing, storage, imaging, and communications applications.

Attendees can visit SPIE DSS booth 1542 for more information.
