2nd TeraHertz: New opportunities for industry – Formation courte How the TeraHertz revolution impacts your business -


My Note:I received this email this morning. Happy to share the information with the THz community.

Dear Randy,

First of all, I would like to say thank you for this blog. This is very useful! 
I would like to advertise the 2nd TeraHertz 

New opportunities for industry, organized by Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Some places are still available.

The following is a link for information and registration:

The following is a description of the event:

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 electromagnetic 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 course is a unique opportunity to network with specialists, converge know-how, and scout for innovative applications.

Objectives

  • Learn about the latest TeraHertz technologies and their market potential
  • Discover examples of TeraHertz applications and the corresponding industrial opportunities
  • 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
  • High speed Electronics
  • THz analysis of volatile mixtures

Certification

A certificate of participation will be delivered at the end of the course.
