Welcome to the TERA 2010 web-site!
September 12-14, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine
The International Workshop "THz Radiation: Basic Research and Applications (TERA2010) will be held in Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine, from September 13 to September 14, 2010. TERA2010 will provide a forum for experts in a wide area of laser physics and optoelectronics subject to fundamental and applied research in the field of THz waves.
Terahertz is unique in its ability to transmit through nearly any material without causing biological harm. This will allow scanning for weapons, detecting hidden explosives, pinpointing the location of skin cancer during surgery, and a host of other exciting applications. The workshop will cover frontiers in terahertz physics and applications. Its characteristic feature is a stronger emphasis on the mathematical and physical aspects of the researches, together with a detail analysis of the application problems. The technical program consists of invited lectures and regular contributed papers.
