Scope
The conference aims at providing a platform for exchanging recent advances, results, problems and ideas between science and industry within the THz technology while acting as inspiration for innovative applications. The conference program comprises introductory talks on THz spectroscopy, tomography, imaging and emis¬sion microscopy as well as pilot implementa¬tions and potential industrial applications.
Technology
Terahertz combines the advantages and chal¬lenges of both optics and HF electronics. Its unique properties between the infrared and microwaves enable for instance:
– spectroscopy for investigating molecules and molecular bonds
– tomography to analyse material layers and layer thickness
– imaging for industrial inspection of inhomo¬geneous samples
– characterisation of semiconductors and photovoltaic materials
Altogether, Terahertz provides non-destructive 3-dimensional spectroscopic information with-out health risks – in contrast to x-ray.
Applications
THz has been shown to be useful for a wide range of applications, such as inspection of finished products or materials, quality control, biomedical imaging and diagnostics, counterfeit detection, characterisation of semiconductors and photovoltaic materials. Terahertz offers capabilities that in many cases cannot be matched by competing technologies, thus making new sensing applications possible.
