T-Ray Science, Inc. is seeking to harness the power of Terahertz (“THz”), the last unexplored region of the electromagnetic spectrum. THz is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 300 gigahertz (3x1011 Hz) and 3 terahertz (3x1012 Hz) and THz waves lie between infrared waves and microwaves.

The first images generated using THz waves date from the 1960s, however, it wasn’t until 1995 when images using Thz time-domain spectroscopy were generated using pulsed wave technology, that a growth in the field of THz science and technology began.

In 1998 a method of creating THz images using continuous wave technology was discovered by Drs. Simon Verghese and Alex McIntosh.  In 2002 a patent was issued to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the Verghese/McIntosh invention and in the same year, a proof of concept study was completed by Cambridge University, Adenbrooke Hospital and Teraview on THz imaging of skin cancer with 25 carcinoma samples correlating 100% with histology results.

In 2008, T-Ray Science, Inc., signed an exclusive license agreement with MIT on what is believed to be the best method of creating continuous wave THz waves.  T-Ray is using this technology to develop our own THz skin cancer imager and is offering sublicense agreements to Companies developing applications using continuous wave technology.  For more information on sublicensing opportunities, please feel free to contact Thomas Braun, CEO.
