2nd TeraHertz: New opportunities for industry







2nd TeraHertz: New opportunities for industry – Formation courte

How the TeraHertz revolution impacts your business

12 – 14 February 2014


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
