Accessories and Fixturing for Terahertz Gauging & Imaging
Spectroscopy Rail; Collinear Adapter; Lens Options, T-Image Platform
Luna’s T-Ray ASR5001 is the first compact pulsed terahertz measurement system that is robust enough to be deployed in an industrial environment and has all of the flexibility provided by Luna’s fiber-coupled sensor heads in a rack mount package. With Luna’s range of accessories and fixturing devices, the T-Ray® 5000 can be configured to fit your specific application.
With its exceptionally long high-speed delay, the T-Ray® 5000 is ideally suited for spectroscopic investigations, providing spectral resolution down to 1.5 GHz at 100 Hz. The transmitter (HTS40nm) and receiver (HRS40n1) can be mounted on the T-Ray® ASR5001 spectroscopy rail to perform transmission spectroscopy measurements. A standard mount is provided to hold accessories or standard sample cards. The rail can accommodate lenses up to 150 mm working distance. An iris is provided on the sample holder to block any portions of the beam that may not be going through the sample. Tip-tilt stages provide easy optimization of the beam alignment to ensure maximum bandwidth.
Using the T-Ray® 5000 AXA40n1 collinear adapter, transmitter and receiver can be coupled to perform as an integrated collinear reflection transceiver. Alignment pins provide precise positioning. The adapter has two ports for the lens, so it can be assembled as right or left-handed. Reflection measurements are easily acquired because the transmitter and receiver share the same lens. Spatial resolution down to 100 µm has been obtained using this arrangement with a 25.4 mm focal length lens. The transceiver is ideal for reflection tomography.
When used with an HTS40nm and an HRS40n1, the assembled collinear transceiver based on ASR5001 or AXA40n1 will provide over 3.5 THz of bandwidth and SNR of 70 dB (ASR5001) or 60 dB (AXA40n1) respectively.
The T-Ray® 5000 HTS/HRS Transmitters & Receivers come standard with a 38 mm diameter lens in an adjustable lens tube. In addition to that, Luna offers T-Ray® 5000 lens options ranging from 38.1 mm to 76.2 mm and 152.4 mm in diameter, with focal lengths ranging from 25.4 mm and 76.2 mm to 152.4 mm and 304.8 mm, plus a collimating lens. Here, the “focal length” is the distance from the lens surface to the beam waist. Lens tubes that mount on the transmitter or receiver are also available for 38.1 mm and 76.2 mm lenses.
The lenses are manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and are manufactured to an aspheric profile for high-quality focusing across a wide range of frequencies. Luna has specifically designed these lenses for use with their fiber-coupled transmitter and receiver sensor heads. When mounted on the front of a transmitter, the lens will provide a collimated or a focused beam. Use relay lenses in conjunction with a collimating lens on the sensor head. The collinear adapter (AXA5001) and the integrated collinear transceiver (HXC50xn) are compatible with 38.1 mm diameter lenses.
The T-Ray® 5000 MSL5201 T-Image platform can be positioned for horizontal or vertical scanning. The transmitter and receiver can be configured in transmission or collinear reflection geometry by using the collinear adapter. The MSL5201 can move at speeds up to 150 mm/s and can provide step resolutions below 30 µm. The motors are integrated with the required amplifier and encoder to allow high-quality images to be acquired at speeds up to 1000 pixels/s. The T-Ray® 5000 MSL5201 T-Image platform has an embedded motion controller that is configured by software running on the Terahertz Control Unit.

T-Gauge® Sensors & Gauges for Terahertz Gauging & Imaging
Horizontal PER <20:1; Beam Diameter 20, 38, 40 mm; Lens 25,75,150 mm, Collimating; Min. Layer Thickness 10-50 µm; Single High-flex Umbilical
Luna’s T-Ray® 5000 measurement system is one of the fastest terahertz systems available on the market. Luna’s broad range of T-Gauge® sensor heads and gauges are paired with the T-Ray® 5000 Intelligent Terahertz Control Unit to create a complete system.
Transmitter and receiver are securely mounted inside the online sensor head’s sealed metal housing. The umbilical for the transceiver, containing the electrical and optical connections, is constructed with high flex rated electrical cable to allow for continuous scanning. When connected to a T-Ray® 5000 Control Unit, the online sensor heads will provide excellent waveform response, capable of providing detailed reflection measurement of layered surfaces or products.
The T-Gauge® HXC50yn is a high-performance online sensor head with full transceiver functionality and takes the robustness of the T-Ray® 5000 terahertz system to a new level with the ability to operate in industrial environments. Reflection measurement of thickness, multi-layer thickness, and basis weight are easily acquired. A variety of lenses are available to adjust the measurement spot size and working distance.
The “y” and “n” in the model number correspond to the focal length of the lens, and the type of terahertz transmitter, respectively – “y” = 4 for 75 mm lens and 5 for 150mm lens, “n” = 1 for a type 1 transmitter and 2 for a type 2 transmitter.
The T-Gauge® HXC51yn online sensor head adds functionality to the standard online sensor head with a virtual reference surface (VRS). Reflection measurement of thickness, multi-layer thickness, basis weight, and density are easily acquired. The VRS enables non-contact, calibration-less caliper thickness measurement as well as basis weight and density without reducing the open separation between the sensor and the product.
The T-Gauge® HXP51y2 online EPG sensor head allows measurement of thinner layers than the standard HXC50yn online sensor head. With higher bandwidth and higher signal to noise, the EPG opens new applications to terahertz process control. Coatings on metal or composite substrates and free standing films can be measured down to 10 µm (0.5 mil).
The T-Gauge® HSC50yn compact industrial sensor is designed for industrial applications that require a smaller footprint, a lighter weight or two output beams. These capabilities are met by the HSC50yn, which capitalizes on the new single fiber lighter weight umbilical, and a more compact design, to allow robot mounting. With proper attention to the configuration, it can be used to inspect two points on the same object. In the case of small diameter tubing, this can even be used to measure four orthogonal points at the same time.
The T-Gauge® SCS500n explosion-proof thickness measurement system takes the robustness of the T-Ray® 5000 to a new level with the ability to operate in flammable atmospheres, such as paint booths or coating facilities. Designed to be robot mountable and intrinsically safe, the T-Gauge® SCS500n Online Sensor Solution CID1 SCS500n is optimized for use in spray booth applications but can be used in other applications as well. The working distance of the sensor head is fixed at 115 mm, but other working distances may be available upon request.
The T-Ray® 5000 LSG500n line scan gauge (LSG) provides a handheld solution for high-speed scanning of a line 50 mm or 75mm in length. The line scan image is displayed on the screen of the handheld tool and can be analyzed by dedicated software for specific applications. Current software solutions can provide layer thickness measurements, detection of voids, or alignment of body panels with measurement of the vertical and horizontal offset between them.
The T-Ray® 5000 SPG500n single point thickness measurement gauge allows direct measurement of multiple layer objects with the press of a button. The modular nature of the measurement tool allows either straight-on or right-angle measurement tips. By using pulse time-of-flight (ToF) to make its measurements, the SPG500n has greater insensitivity to environmental and material variations that can lead to calibration inaccuracies, as well as operator inconsistencies. The measurement is fundamentally non-contact, but for hand-held use, a measurement tip is used to aid the user in positioning the object at the focus of the THz beam.

T-Ray® 5000 HTS/HRS Transmitters & Receivers for Terahertz Gauging & Imaging
Horizontal PER <20:1; Beam Diameter 38 mm; SNR 37-94.5 dB; Lens 25,75,150 mm, Collimating; Hot Swappable
Luna’s T-Ray® 5000 is the first compact pulsed terahertz measurement system that is robust enough to be deployed in an industrial environment. With Luna’s T-Ray® 5000 HTS/HRS transmitters and receivers, the T-Ray® 5000 can be configured to fit your specific application.
Operating in either reflection or transmission mode, the fiber-coupled transmitter/receiver heads deliver a picosecond duration time-domain terahertz pulse, allowing high speed, scanned images to be easily produced. Coupled with an HRS40n1 receiver, the transmitters provide bandwidth above 3.5 THz and signal to noise ratio above 70 dB (HTS40n1/2) or 55 dB (HTS40n3)
The T-Ray® 5000 HTS40n1 Transmitter Type 1 provides high output power with high spectral bandwidth. The enhanced low frequencies provide higher material penetration for imaging voids and disbonds in high-frequency scattering media. By maximizing low-frequency power, the HTS40n1 is ideal for applications where high material penetration is required for imaging, particularly in scattering or absorbing materials.
The T-Ray® 5000 HTS40n2 Transmitter Type 2 balances high output power with high spectral bandwidth and minimizes features following the pulse to allow high quality images and detection of multiple layers in reflection with less need for post processing of the waveform. By balancing bandwidth and power, the HTS40n2 is ideal for applications where both high-resolution imaging and broad spectral range are desired.
The T-Ray® 5000 HTS40n3 Transmitter Type 3 provides uniform signal to noise over an extended range for high-resolution spectroscopy, while minimizing waveform distortions after the pulse to allow high resolution temporal measurement of layer thicknesses without the need for post processing of the waveform. By providing a uniform signal to noise over a broad bandwidth, the HTS40n3 is ideal for applications where both high resolution and broad spectral range are desired.
The T-Ray® 5000 HRS40n1 Receiver provides high spectral bandwidth when coupled with any of the HTS40nm transmitters. The HRS40n1 provides bandwidth over 3.5 THz and signal to noise ratio above 70 dB. By embedding amplification close to the signal source, the receiver is able to produce high signal to noise, and eliminate the need for a lock-in amplifier.

The TCU is paired with one of a variety of T-Gauge® Sensor heads to create a complete system.
The data generated by the T-Gauge® sensor heads and processed by the T-Ray® 5000 control units enable multiple measurements of a product simultaneously. One T-Gauge® sensor can measure the basis weight, caliper thickness, multi-layer thicknesses, density and moisture content of a sample in a single pass. Attached to a separate transmitter and receiver, the T-Ray® 5000 control units can perform spectroscopic measurements as well as transmission and reflection imaging.
The T-Ray® 5000 TCU52nm terahertz control unit monitors and controls all aspects of THz generation and detection, precisely delivering controlled optical signals to the terahertz transmitters and receivers, or the T-Gauge® Sensor Heads, enabling them to generate and receive terahertz signals.
The T-Ray® 5000 TCU54nm dual channel control unit is the same size, shape and weight as the single channel unit (TCU52nm), but with the added benefit of being able to control two terahertz sensors for multi-sensor applications.
The T-Ray® 5000 control units and accessories are linked with robust connection points and interfaces appropriate for industrial environments.
