Although terahertz radiation is predestined for a wide range of applications, for example, in security technology, quality assurance, or material testing, its industrial introduction has so far failed due to the lack of availability of inexpensive, fast, and high-resolution systems with optimized, AI-based image recognition algorithms. This is where the "T-KOS" project, initiated by the FMD and funded by the BMBF with 10 million euros, comes in.
