StarTiger

The StrTiger project was completed successfully in October 2002. Since then developments of the technology have been carried out by ThruVision Ltd, a spin-out company of the CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. This web site is kept as a record of the activities carried out by the project and is not updated. Any enquiries may be addressed to Jeremy Curtis at RAL or to ThruVision.

StrTiger is a pioneering European Space Agency (ESA) initiative in partnership with the Space Science and Technology Department at CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

1. StrTiger has obtained their first passive image of a hand at terahertz frequency.

2 . The first StrTiger silicon machined front end terahertz array.

3. Plasma deposition of metals on StrTiger micromachined waveguide mixers.

The StrTiger concept is to bring together a small team of highly motivated researchers to make a breakthrough in a strategically important technology area in just 4 months.
