The platform
One pipeline. Many modalities.
Sondera adds one measurement physics at a time on a pipeline that stays the same underneath. Terahertz is first and in pilot; ultrasonic and micro-CT follow the same path from raw data to signed-off decision.
THz-TDS
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
Non-contact, couplant-free measurement of coating and layer thickness, delaminations, and subsurface defects in composite materials.

Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic testing (UT)
Waveform analysis for welds and structural components, built on the same signal pipeline as terahertz.

Micro-CT
X-ray micro-computed tomography
Volumetric defect detection and porosity analysis for additive and cast parts.

The architecture
Different physics, the same backbone.
Every modality forms its measurement in a different way, so each brings its own physics and signal processing. Everything after that, the detection, the confidence, the decision support and reporting, is shared. Building the second modality is mostly a new front end on a pipeline that already works.
Shared across every modality
- Defect detection and characterization
- Confidence and uncertainty on every call
- Decision support against acceptance criteria
- Traceable, audit-ready reporting
Specific to each modality
- The measurement physics and what it can resolve
- Signal processing tuned to that physics
- Reference data from simulation and measurement
Our method
How a modality joins the platform.
Physics and simulation
Model the measurement with FDTD and finite-element simulation to know what a given setup can and cannot resolve before hardware time is spent.
Data and models
Generate training and validation data across material stacks and defect types, then train physics-informed models grounded in the wave physics.
Validation and pilot
Benchmark against reference measurements, then run a pilot with partners on real parts before the modality is declared ready.
Have a modality or material in mind?
Terahertz is where we are today, and the pilot is open. If you inspect with a different method, tell us about the problem. The pipeline is built to take on the next one.
