TeraHertz: New opportunities for industry

Special Focus Session: THz Materials Measurements

3-5 February 2015

Target audience

R&D managers, engineers and scientists seeking a comprehensive update on TeraHertz technologies and applications, a disruptively evolving field.
A general background in science & technology is sufficient.

Overview

TeraHertz (THz), the frequencies between electronics and optics,
was until recently the last unexploited part of the electro-
magnetic spectrum. The harnessing of THz-based technologies has the potential of impacting globally a vast number of industries, like both electronics in the 70’s and optics in the 80’s did.
THz applications span over a wide array of fields, including:

• Quality Control and Non-destructive testing
• Surface analysis
• Security
• Chemical and Bio-Medical analysis
• Telecommunications

Filling the TeraHertz “gap” has led to unprecedented creativity in the development and commercialization of TeraHertz sources, transmission components and detectors.
This year’s edition will focus on THz materials measurements and applications.

Objectives

• Learn about the latest developments around material measurements towards TeraHertz
• Discover new application opportunities for THz material
 measurements
• Network with specialists in this emerging field

Topics and Hands-on

• THz test & measurements instrumentations: 
Network Analyzers
• THz solid state sources
• THz on-chip measurements and material measurements fixtures
• THz photonic measurements
• Application opportunities of THz material measurements

Keynote speakers from industry will give an overview of 
material measurements and challenges. The course also includes targeted exhibit with demonstrators.
