Here you will find all the information you need for the International Workshop on Terahertz Science and Technology, 2009 held in Santa Barbara, CA March 7-11. 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. In addition to the presentation of peer reviewed papers, we have added activities for students and newcomers, including a tutorial session immediately before the conference begins. Please see the paper submission page for information on abstract submission. The deadline for abstracts is November 3, 2008. We will emphasize sources and applications at wavelengths between 30 and 3000 microns (0.1-10 THz).
Contemporary scientific topics will be highlighted in areas such as:
Terahertz pulse generation and detection
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
THz imaging and nondestructive evaluation
THz near-field microscopy: developments and applications
Nanotechnology impact on terahertz instrumentation
Terahertz characterization of nanomaterials
Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy
Probing ultrafast carrier dynamics and transport in materials
Novel optical and material development: metamaterials and plasmonics
Applications to molecular, biomolecular, and liquid phase spectroscopy
Portal security applications
Quantum cascade lasers
Sources based on telecom pumps
Emerging laser technology for use in optical THz sources and detectors
Terahertz communications
Terahertz waveguides
LIDAR/DIAL systems
