International Travel: 40th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, August 2015

拟议项目旨在寻求资助，以支付首席研究员及其学生出席2015年8月23日至28日在香港举行的会议的费用。会议讨论了“太赫兹（THz）间隙”，其中不存在明亮的光源和敏感的检测手段。太赫兹间隙覆盖电磁波谱中肉眼不可见的频率，位于微波和红外线之间，范围从0.3到3 THz。的？2015年国际红外、毫米波和太赫兹波会议（IRMMW-THz）将讨论从毫米波到太赫兹波段以及电磁频谱的远红外区域的科学和技术活动，主题涵盖从微米和纳米尺度的器件和结构到大型加速器和托卡马克及其应用。要解决的其他主题包括生物学，医学，安全和国防，光谱学和材料特性，源，探测器和接收器等应用。 会议将通过聚集不同的专家组来促进技术领先研究的进步。会议将包括全体主题演讲者，口头论文介绍，海报会议以及演示和展览会议，这将鼓励在太赫兹领域交流想法。它将鼓励美国的年轻研究人员向在这一领域工作的国际社会介绍他们的研究工作，并将为学习基础知识和先进原理提供一个很好的机会。

The proposed project seeks financial support for conference attendance costs by the PI and his students to attend a conference to be held August 23-28, 2015 in Hong Kong. The conference addresses the "terahertz (THz)gap" where bright sources of light and sensitive means of detection do not exist. The THz gap covres frequencies invisible to the naked eye in the electromagnetic spectrum, lying between microwave and infrared in the range from 0.3 to 3THz. The ?International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) 2015 will address scientific and technological activities from millimeter-waves to the THz regime and the far-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.Topics ranging from micro- and nano-scale devices and structures to large-scale accelerators and tokamaks and their applications will be covered. Other topics to be addressed include among other applications in Biology, Medicine, Security and Defense, Spectroscopy and Material Properties, Sources, Detectors, and Receivers. The conference will foster advances in the leading research of Technology by gathering a diverse group of experts.The conference will include plenary keynote speakers, oral paper presentations, posters sessions as well as demo and exhibition sessions that will encourage the exchange of ideas in the THz area. It will encourage young researchers in the US to present their research work to the international community working in this field and will provide a great opportunity for learning both fundamentals as well as advanced principles.
