April 13 - 17
San Francisco, CA
Exhibit: April 14-16
Including
MRS Symposium K: Materials Research for Terahertz Technology Development
The Terahertz (THz) portion of the frequency spectrum (0.3-10 THz) has attracted interest for various potential applications such as urban warfare and hidden weapons discovery, checking personnel and packages for guns and explosives, chemical and biological detection, and even communi- cations. However, the spectral region has been underutilized because of the inadequacy of THz sources, detectors, and components that are, in turn, limited by materials. This symposium intends to focus on the latest advances in materials that will enable the development of the terahertz region of the spectrum. The symposium is open to electronic and optical THz-producing techniques. Materials work in growth (bulk, epi, and engineered), characterization (spectroscopy, loss, dielectric studies, etc.), and devices will be welcomed, but not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, biological, chemical, gas, engineered, and other materials.
Topics of interest include:
• Materials for THz sources and THz detectors
• Materials for THz components (i.e., modulators, lenses, mirrors, transmission lines, etc.)
• THz spectroscopy of materials (molecular, organic, and inorganic)
• Ultrafast chemistry and physics as it relates to THz
• Material properties at THz frequencies
• Negative-index and other novel materials
• Novel devices for THz applications
