Abstract deadline extended to 24 February 2012. Submit your abstract here.
Synopsis
The field of THz Science and Technology is growing at a tremendous speed, as evidenced by the exponentially growing number of publications in this field and by the rapidly increasing number of patents and applications. This topical meeting provides a platform on which the latest results in the generation, detection and use of THz radiation in science and technology will be presented and discussed. The meeting is for senior scientists and (under)graduate students alike. There will be two 45 minute-long Master Class Talks, especially aimed at the undergraduate and graduate student level.
Topics
- Emission of THz radiation (QCLs, HEMTs, FELs, synchrotrons, nonlinear optics etc.)
- Detection of THz radiation (quantum dots, single photon detectors, time-gated, HEMTs etc.)
- THz integrated optics, waveguiding, plasmonics, metamaterials, photonic crystals
- Interaction of THz radiation with matter (dielectrics, semiconductors, nanostructured materials, liquid-state dynamics, chemistry, biology, ultrafast spectroscopy etc.)
- Nonlinear phenomena induced by THz radiation
- THz far-field and near-field imaging, THz microscopy and microspectroscopy
- Remote sensing of gases and chemical / biological agents
- THz applications (security, telecom, remote detection etc.)
