Cambridge UK technology pioneer TeraView has won a significant deal in South Korea.

Teraview CEO, Dr Don Arnone says the terahertz solutions and technology provider has received a key order from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology of South Korea.

The order is for TeraView’s TPS spectra 3000 system for research and materials characterisation.

Dr Arnone said the sale added to Teraview’s growing installed based in South Korea and helped to strengthen its position in the Asian market.

He said: “This sale is of wider strategic benefit as Korea increasingly serves as a technology leader for the Asia-Pacific region.

“When combined with other orders and our strong pipeline, this order has helped to give us a great start to our new financial year.”

TeraView is at the forefront of global developments in terahertz light, creating terahertz instruments which can generate, detect and manipulate radiation to characterise a wide range of materials

The business was spun-out of Toshiba Research Europe in April, 2001 by its co-founders, Sir Michael Pepper (CSO) and Dr Arnone to exploit the intellectual property and expertise developed in sourcing and detecting terahertz radiation using innovative technologies.

Leading industry proponents of the technology sit on the company’s advisory board and TeraView maintains close links with the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, where modern terahertz technology was pioneered in conjunction with the team at TeraView, and where professor Pepper, has held the position of Professor of Physics since 1987.
