The objective of TERAEYE is to develop an innovative range of inspecting passive systems, based on Terahertz (THz) wave detection, to detect harmful materials for homeland security. Main applications will be related to airports security systems, surveillance of crowded areas such as railway and metro stations; detection of chemical and biological harmful substances and hazards in post and goods.
TERAEYE aims at a technological breakthrough in the THz sector through the development of a new fabrication process for cheap nano-fabricated 2-D matrix array of detectors that will strongly reduce the production cost of the THz sensors. These technological developments would constitute the basis for the longterm breakthrough introduction of totally new detection and scanning systems to be applied for security applications, thus opening up new market perspectives for a new set of products and services based on the passive THz detection, and thereby supporting a radical transformation in the security sector.
