The 5th International Workshop on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT 2014)

The first International Workshops on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT) was held in 1999 as a celebration event for establishing FIR FU, and the second IW-FIRT was held in 2002 as a part of the Fukui University International Congress to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of our university. The third IW-FIRT was held in 2010, eight years after the second IW-FIRT, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of foundation of FIR FU. The fourth IW-FIRT was held in 2012. In these workshops concentrated discussions were made in a wide field of the far-infrared technologies.

Reflecting the fast evolution of far-infrared technologies and the rapid growth of the research activities in the far-infrared region including terahertz range, IW-FIRT has been held biennially from 2010. Therefore, we organize the Fifth International Workshop on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT 2014). It will be held from March 5th to March 7th, 2014 in, University of Fukui. The workshop consists of invited talks, oral and poster presentations from contributed papers with the following scope of topics, with a special emphasis on the applications of high-frequency gyrotrons:

1) Development of high power radiation sources in the far-infrared region,
2) High power terahertz technologies,
3) Terahertz spectroscopy,
4) Magnetic resonance phenomena in the far-infrared region,
5) Material development with high-power FIR sources, and
6) Other subjects related to the far-infrared region.
