Terahertz Systems
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON R&D AND EMERGING MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
Terahertz Radiation, or more commonly known as “T-rays,” lie between the infrared and microwave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Terahertz (THz) allow the sensing of objects by both traditional means of reflection (imaging) and by being able to transmit or look through an object. Recent advances in transmitter and receiver technology are paving the way for Dynamic Growth of a Commercial and Military THz industry. Future applications are limitless – from standoff detection of chemical and biological agents, explosives, and weapons, to human screening; from non-destructive testing of air and spacecraft to non-invasive medical diagnostics, far-space telescopes, industrial process control, broadband communications…and more. This outstanding conference brings together “26” top experts involved in THz R&D to introduce cutting-edge military and commercial applications within key government agencies and major industry. They will provide you with a comprehensive picture of what is being done to expand THz systems, technologies, and applications and to also identify and evaluate what needs to be done to overcome the most pressing technical challenges & capabilities for near-term and future applications.
This outstanding two day conference brings together the key experts in THz research, development and application. They will give you a thorough grounding in the concepts of THz technology, provide you with a comprehensive picture of what key government agencies and laboratories are doing to expand R&D in THz systems and technologies, identify what needs to be done to develop the infrastructure for THz commercialization, examine many of the emerging THz applications, look at important THz breakthroughs, and evaluate the current technical capabilities, and near-term challenges of THz systems.
