The IRMMW-THz 2006 Conference

Joint 31st International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves and 14th International Conference on Terahertz Electronics

September 18-22, 2006, Shanghai ,China

The IRMMW-THz 2006, currently in its 31st year, is the oldest continuous forum specifically devoted to the field of ultra high frequency electronics and applications. The scope of the conference extends from millimeter wave devices, components and systems to infrared detectors and instruments, and encompasses micro-scale structures to large-scale Tokamaks and Gyrotrons. In recent years the organizing committee has expanded the conference scope and the participating research communities with a special focus on terahertz techniques and applications, including both the traditional radio frequency domain and the new fast pulse time domain approaches to generating, detecting and using high frequency energy. The conference offers attendees a chance to hear and participate in a wide range of topic areas that span all aspects of Infrared, Terahertz and Millimeter-Wave technology and applications from quantum physics, chemistry and biology to radio astronomy and plasma physics.
	The following is a representative list of topics to be covered at the conference:
IR, THz, and MMW Sources, Detectors and Receivers Terahertz Devices, Components, Subsystems and Instruments; both Frequency and Time Domain. Novel Devices and Instruments for IR, THz and MMW IR, THz and MMW Spectroscopy, Instrumentation and Material Properties MMW and Submillimeter-Wave Radar and Communications Ultra High Speed MMW Digital Devices IR, THz and MMW Imaging MMW Systems, Transmission Lines and Antennas Gyro-Oscillators and Amplifiers, Plasma Diagnostics Free Electron Lasers and Synchrotron Radiation IR, THz and MMW Astronomy, Atmospheric and Environmental Science Applications Ultra-fast Components and Measurements in Chemistry and Physics IR, THz, and MMW Applications in Security and Industry.
