International Workshop on Terahertz Science and Technology 2013 (OTST2013) will be held in Kyoto, Japan April 1-5, 2013.

OTST2013 is part of a series of conferences held every two years. The previous four conferences have been held in Orlando, Florida, USA (2005, 2007) and Santa Barbara, California, USA (2009, 2011). The aim of this workshop is to foster discussion on the newest and most exciting research in the development and applications of terahertz instrumentation based on optical sources. Emphasis will be placed on sources and applications at wavelengths between 30 and 3000 microns (0.1-10 THz). In addition to the presentation of peer reviewed papers, we have added activities for students and newcomers, including atutorial session immediately before the conference begins (1 April, 2013). Please see the paper submission page for information on abstract submission.

Co-Chairs: Koichiro Tanaka (Kyoto University)
Masayoshi Tonouchi (Osaka University)
