TeraSpike Defender
The TeraSpike Defender is an optional housing protecting the sensitive tip of the probe against accidential mechanical impact. The exposure of the tip can be manually adjusted from -1mm to +1mm. In the negative exposure range a direct contact of the probe-tip to a flat surface is prevented by the TeraSpike Defender housing. Optical excitation as well as visual monitoring of the tip region is not impaired by the protective structure thanks to vertically placed openings. The TeraSpike Defender can be applied to any existing or new TeraSpike probe.

Terahertz Test Target
Target design model: P-TTT-2-1200
The test target P-TTT-2-1200 has been specially developed for the characterization of Terahertz imaging systems. Featuring structures and areas from 2 µm up to 8 mm of lateral size it is suited for standard diffraction-limited systems as well as near-field imaging systems with sub-wavelength resolution.
The test target is based on high-resistivity silicon and contains conductor areas with three different transmission strengths beside uncoated substrate areas with maximum transmission. The featured structures include classic resolution test structures such as orthogonal pairs of three stripe structures, a Siemens star and concentric rings. These typical structures are accompanied by further structures specially useful for near-field imaging purposes such as metamaterial structures generating local field confinement. Additionally, areas helpful as references for sheet resistance imaging and wafer scanning applications are also listed.
