What we learned

• There is great interest in our technology from government, academia, and industry

• In order to develop a complete and sophisticated system, we need to partner with other groups to bring such a system to market quickly

• We still need to do more research on our technology in order to develop a system to sell and demonstrate its capabilities to potential customers

Where we go from here

• Quickly organize a team to aggressively develop a THz system

• Demonstrate the specifications of such a system exceeds what is available commercially

• Show product demonstration of this system with customer’s desired application (chemical detection, imaging, security)
