About Virginia Diodes

Virginia Diodes Inc. (VDI) designs, manufactures and sells millimeter wave and terahertz devices, components, and systems.

Our Mission
To make the terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum as useful for scientific, military and commercial applications as the microwave and infrared bands are today.

Our Products
VDI's primary products are detectors, mixers, frequency multipliers, and integrated systems for reliable operation at frequencies between 18 GHz and 2 THz. All VDI components include in-house fabricated GaAs Schottky diodes and microelectronic filter structures. Other products include mesh filters, comb generators, and raiometers for applications above 100 GHz.

Our History
The company was founded in 1996 by Professor Tomas W. Crowe, President, and Mr. William L. Bishop, Vice President, originally of the University of Virginia. In 2001, the company restructured with the addition of two principals, Drs. Jeffrey Hesler and David Porterfield. Since then the company has continued to grow the number of product offerings and the employees needed to satisfy a broad range of terahertz and millimeter wave customers. Today, VDI's technicians, engineers, and executives form the world's strongest millimeter wave and terahertz component supplier team.
