From its Harrisburg base, Applied Research & Photonics develops terahertz spectrometers and provides non-contact, non-destructive testing for semiconductor and nanomaterial research. Its TeraSpectra and TNS3DI systems combine spectroscopy with subsurface, layer-by-layer 3D imaging to locate defects within materials rather than only viewing their surfaces. The company’s work has received recognition including the 2011 CLEO/Laser Focus World Innovation Award and NASA Tech Briefs’ 2008 Nano-50 Innovator Award for founder and CTO Anis Rahman.
TeraProbes, IncFounded in 2014 as an Ohio State University research spin-off, TeraProbes develops fully automated, contact-free systems for testing high-frequency electronic devices and integrated circuits on wafers. Its proprietary probing technology uses focused high-frequency beams and tiny on-wafer antennas rather than physical contact, while its robotic systems also characterize materials across millimeter-wave and terahertz bands. The Hilliard company’s technical leadership remains closely tied to university research, with its president, CEO, and CTO each holding PhDs and academic appointments.HILLIARD, OH
