TeraView was co-founded by Michael Pepper (CSO) and Dr Don Arnone (CEO) as a spin-out of Toshiba Research Europe in April 2001.[2] The company was set up to exploit the intellectual property and expertise developed in sourcing and detecting terahertz radiation (1 THz= 33.3 cmā1), using semiconductor technologies. Leading industry proponents of the technology sit on its Advisory Board, and TeraView maintains close links with the Cavendish Laboratory[3] at the University of Cambridge, which was one of the research universities which had an interest in Terahertz techniques. It is also where Professor Pepper,[4] has held the position of Professor of Physics since 1987.
