When you are exploring hidden sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, it doesn’t really matter where on the planet you happen to be. On Thursday, Vermont Photonics held an open house and celebrated the initial delivery of $850,000 in federal money that could help them make the next leap in their research that will open up the so-called Terahertz band to scientists around the world.
Results from experiments conducted at the University of California, Santa Barbara may lead to profound changes in optical communications. The discovery is reported in the October 28th edition of the journal Science.
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research associate positions in the Center of Coherently Controlled Quantum Devices within the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology.
The 18th annual meeting of the IEEE Lasers & Electro-Optics Society, 23 – 27 October 2005, Hilton Sydney, Sydney, Australia
The THz Science and Technology Network was created in response to last year’s DOE/NSF/NIH sponsored workshop on Opportunities in THz Science. This workshop will be a community building and organizational tool for the THz Science and Technology Network.
Several key advances in technologies for public security and safety have been made in Japan by unexpected coincidences, or pure blind luck, and the efforts of just a handful of experts. One example is the development of a terahertz device that can scan mail for prohibited drugs contained in envelopes.
A terahertz system that acquires images in real time could help screen mail for suspicious objects.
The role of the Research Officer is to establish and apply models for simulating the physics of the emission and absorption of THz radiation from a range of InP-based heterostructure devices including multi-quantum well structures.
Background in applied spectroscopy, experimental electro-optics, and advanced instrumentation.
IGERT awards from the U. S. National Science Foundation and the GAANN awards from the Department of Education are targetted to students who are interested in studying at the Ph.D. level in “Terahertz Science and Technology” and “Terascale electronics, photonic materials, and devices”, respectively.
