Submillimeter Technology
Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art instrumentation for the detection of both coherent and incoherent sub-millimeter radiation from space. We develop receivers and supporting hard- and software for ground-based, airborne and space observatories. We operate systems at novel telescopes like APEX and SOFIA.
