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
