The International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz), begun in 1974, is the oldest and largest continuous forum specifically devoted to the field of ultra high frequency electronics and applications. In 2004 the original conference series - International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves (IRMMW) joined up with the International Conference on THz Electronics to form the Joint 29th International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves and the 12th International Conference on Terahertz Electronics (IRMMW-THz 2004). In 2008 the conference name was shortened to the 33rd International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, keeping the same general acronym: IRMMW-THz 20XX. In 2009 the conference series was formally incorporated into a permanent non-profit international society registered in the state of California, USA. The International Society of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) has the mission statement: "Promoting the worldwide collection, dissemination and exchange of scientific and technical knowledge in the areas and disciplines involving infrared, millimeter, and terahertz waves." The IRMMW-THz Society has a permanent Board of Directors, official By-Laws, and independent financial resources, and will assure the continuation of the conference series for the foreseeable future.

The IRMMW conference and its long standing accompanying monthly publication, The Journal of Infrared, Millimeter and Terahertz Waves, were among the very first scientific outlets for the burgeoning field of far infrared components and instruments that arose in the mid 1970s. The scope of the conference extends from millimeter wave devices, components and systems to far-infrared detectors and instruments, and encompasses micro- and nano-scale structures to large-scale accelerators and Tokamaks and their applications. In 2011 a new focused THz journal, IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology was added to the list of linked technical outlets for members of the IRMMW-THz Society.

The international organizing committee is composed of world-recognized experts from eleven countries. The conference typically alternates between the USA, Asia and Europe on a three year cycle. Past conferences have been supported by US agencies such as IEEE, APS, DOE and DoD and dozens of local societies within the hosting countries. In 2003 both the IRMMW and THz Electronics conferences were held sequentially in Japan. Total attendees for both events was 520 registrants from 18 countries with 340 submitted papers. After 2003 the two conferences joined and attendance in 2004 (Karlsruhe, Germany) exceeded 450 scientists from 28 countries with over 400 contributed papers. The 2005 conference in Williamsburg, Virginia, hosted 300 scientists from 23 countries with more than 375 contributed papers. In Shanghai, China in 2006 more than 550 papers were submitted representing 28 countries and regions, the largest venue in recent memory. The 2007 conference in Cardiff, Wales, UK ended with more than 430 participants from 18 countries and 550 submitted papers. The 2008 conference in Pasadena had over 460 papers from 32 countries. The 2009 venue in Busan, Korea had over 535 attendees from 43 countries. In 2010 the conference in Rome hosted the largest crowd to date, with 640 participants from around the world.

Sandwiched between the optical on the short wavelength side and radio on the long wavelength extreme, the Terahertz or Far-Infrared has long been considered the last remaining scientific gap in the electromagnetic spectrum. Due to the historic role the IRMMW conference has played in bridging this gap by bringing together international researchers in many diverse fields - from space science to nuclear fusion - and recently chemistry and biology, the organizing committees would again like to reach out to scientists in adjacent fields who can benefit from recent developments in the far-IR.

In the last few years interest in terahertz imaging and spectroscopy from the biology, security, ultra-fast chemistry and health science communities has grown exponentially as new instrumentation and techniques have begun to make their way into many laboratories world-wide. This is especially the case in Europe and Japan, both of which have thriving cross-disciplinary programs supporting new applications in this frequency domain.

As a consequence the conference organizing committees have significantly expanded the scope and the participating research communities. They have now included a special focus on terahertz techniques and applications, including both the traditional radio frequency domain, and the new fast pulse time domain approaches to generating, detecting and using high frequency energy. The conference offers the attendee a chance to hear and participate in a wide range of topic areas that span all aspects of Infrared, Terahertz and Millimeter-Wave (IR, THz, and MMW) technology and applications from quantum physics, chemistry, and biology to radio astronomy, plasma physics and security.

Over the coming years we are looking forward to very well attended and internationally supported cross-disciplinary conference venues that will set IRMMW-THz up as the pre-eminent conference for information exchange in the "Terahertz Gap."

API at IRMMW-2014

My Note: It's my understanding that API had two exhibition tables (pictured above), at the recent IRMMW-2014, and that both Irl Duling, Director of Terahertz Business Development Advanced Photonix, Inc., and David Zimdars, attended. 

Some highlights for API in relation to other products on display were:
The robustness of API's equipment and suitability for industrial deployment (UL, CE, 0-50degreeC temperature stability).
The reality of API's current industrial deployments across multiple applications.
API's high signal to noise ratio (40-50dB for a single waveform and 90dB for a 30sec average).
API's high speed data acquisition (up to 1000 waveforms/sec) which allows high speed imaging.
The length of API's waveform in high speed acquisition, which allows high resolution spectroscopy or examination of thick objects.
API's  volume manufacturing which results in a high value product.
The intelligence of API's Terahertz Control Unit (TCU) and its ability to do waveform processing.

Lake Shore to Discuss THz Characterization and High-Frequency Probing at IRMMW-THz

http://www.azom.com/news.aspx?newsID=42360

Lake Shore Cryotronics, a leading innovator in solutions for measurement over a wide range of temperature and magnetic field conditions, announced that it will be exhibiting solutions for high-frequency material characterization at the 39th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz), Sept. 14–19, in Tucson, Ariz. Lake Shore specifically will discuss its fully integrated Model 8501 THz system for material characterization and its work toward developing THz-frequency solutions for cryogenic probe station-based measurement.

A non-contact spectroscopic platform, the Model 8501 enables researchers to more easily study research-scale electronic and magnetic materials with resonances in the THz regime. It uses uniquely designed continuous wave THz (CW-THz) emitter and detector components, supporting the ability to measure at 200 GHz to 1.5 THz frequencies and spectral resolution of better than 500 MHz.
Because the system includes a high-field cryostat and superconducting magnet, material responses can be measured across a range of temperatures and field strengths. These capabilities benefit research of materials at low temperatures at an early stage, when high magnetic fields (up to 9 T) may be required.
The Model 8501 system also includes intuitive management and analysis software, enabling quick setup of measurement profiles, automated measurement runs and real-time visualization of collected data. To see a demo of the software, IRMMW-THz attendees can stop by Lake Shore’s booth (#14). Also during the conference, Lake Shore will be conducting a poster session relating to field- and temperature-dependent thin film CW-THz characterization. This session will occur Thursday, Sept. 18, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the South Ballroom.
Separate from its THz material characterization solution, Lake Shore will also be discussing its most recent efforts toward developing a THz-frequency, on-wafer contact probing solution for cryogenic probe stations. This initiative is a collaboration of Lake Shore with several companies and university researchers. The goal is to enable high-speed device probing and performance measurements at variable temperatures and magnetic fields for next-generation electronics R&D. Conference attendees can learn more about this industry/university collaboration and see a prototype of Lake Shore’s cryogenic THz probe arm assembly by visiting the Lake Shore booth.
The company will also answer questions about its complete line of industry-leading cryogenic probe stations during the conference. These platforms enable non-destructive probing of materials and test devices as a function of temperature and field, whether for the study of electrical, magneto-transport, DC, RF or microwave properties. They are particularly useful for carbon-based nanotube (CNT), graphene, MEMS, gallium-nitride (GaN), silicon-germanium (SiGe), superconducting device and organic semiconductor research.

Karun Vijayraghavan Receives Best Student Paper Award at the International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves

 

http://www.ece.utexas.edu/news/karun-vijayraghavan-receives-best-student-paper-award-international-conference-infrared
Karun Vijayraghavan, a UT ECE graduate student in Prof. Mikhail Belkin’s group, was recently awarded the outstanding student paper award at the International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW) held in Mainz, Germany. IRMMW is the premier conference for terahertz (THz) science and technology and Karun’s work on THz quantum cascade laser sources was selected as the top paper/presentation amongst 133 doctoral student entries. The work focused on the development of a room-temperature, narrow linewidth, frequency agile terahertz source using difference-frequency generation in quantum cascade lasers. This is the only electrically pumped, compact semiconductor source that can operate and tune over the 1 to 6 THz frequency spectrum at room temperature. More information about the work can be found in the recently published Nature Communications article (vol. 4, num. 2021) titled “Broadly-tunable terahertz generation in mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers".

The Conference

The International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz), is the oldest and largest continuous forum devoted to the science and technology of long-wavelength radiation. The scope of the conference includes all scientific and technological activities which involve the long-wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This covers a very wide range of disciplines, encompassing everything from micro- and nano-scale structures to large-scale accelerators and tokamaks and their applications. Presentations at this conference may address issues ranging from basic physics, chemistry, and materials science to applications in energy, communications, imaging, and more.

A Bit of History

Founded in the mid-1970's as the International Conference on Submillimeter Waves and their Applications, the conference continues to grow to include an ever broader scope of activities. The conference and its long standing accompanying monthly publication, now known as the Journal of Infrared, Millimeter and Terahertz Waves (JIMT), were among the very first scientific outlets for the burgeoning field of far infrared components and instruments. In 2004, the original conference series - by then known as the International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves (IRMMW) - joined up with the International Conference on THz Electronics to form the Joint 29th International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves and the 12th International Conference on Terahertz Electronics (IRMMW-THz 2004). In 2008 the conference name was shortened to the 33rd International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, keeping the same general acronym: IRMMW-THz 20XX.

On May 7, 2009 the International Society of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves was officially incorporated. The society was formed to give a permanent home to the International Organizing Committee (IOC) for IRMMW-THz, to formalize the role of the IOC in maintaining the current conference series, and linking technically with JIMT. The current membership of the IOC can be found here. In addition, the Society administers the Kenneth J. Button Prize, awarded annually for outstanding contributions to the science of the electromagnetic spectrum. The conference alternates among Europe, Asia and North America on a three-year cycle. In 2009, the 34th conference was held in Busan, Korea, and in 2010, the location of the 35th conference was Rome, Italy.

Houston 2011

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 36th Annual International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves. It will be held in Houston, TX, USA, on October 2-7, 2011, at the Hyatt Regency Houston.
