THz/sub-mm Wave Technology: Design and Characterization Tools for Wave guides and Devices

太赫兹（THz）频率范围（300 GHz至3 THz）的源和探测器的进步允许进入这个以前未知的区域，称为THz间隙。太赫兹技术在成像、通信、化学和生物探测等领域正变得越来越有吸引力。研究人员正在开始推进基础知识和技术的发展，这些知识和技术在超宽带连接、光谱学、成像以及化学和生物材料的检测和传感方面开辟了许多新的能力。反过来，这些进步的潜在应用引起了从通信、安全到健康科学等许多行业的兴趣。为实现这一目标，拟议的总干事提案旨在沿着以下三个主题，为知识库作出贡献：

Advancement of sources and detectors in the terahertz (THz) frequency range, between 300GHz to 3 THz, has allowed access to this previously uncharted region, known as the THz Gap. THz technology is becoming very attractive for imaging, communications, chemical and biological detection. Researchers are beginning to advance the basic knowledge and techniques that are opening up many new capabilities in ultra broad-band connectivity, spectroscopy, imaging, and detection and sensing of chemical and biological materials. In turn, the potential applications of these advancements have generated interests from many industries ranging from communication, security to health science. Towards this goal, the proposed DG proposal aims to contribute to the knowledge base along the following three themes:
