2nd International Workshop "THz Radiation: Basic Research and Applications“ (TERA’2010)

The 2nd International Workshop «THz Radiation: Basic Research and Applications“ (TERA’2010) will be held in historical city Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine, from September 12 to September 14, 2010. TERA’2010 will provide a forum for experts in a wide area of optical and microwave physics and photonics.



Terahertz is unique in its ability to penetrate 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.



Previous meetings provided in 2008 (TERA2008, Ukraine) and 2009 (special NATO ARW Workshop TERA-MIR, Turkey) have confirmed our expectations. They have shown the necessity of holding the annual forum and growth of participant number. TERA2010 will be organized in series with more wider events: 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers, CAOL'2010 and 10th Int. Conference on Laser and Fiber Optics Networks Modeling, LFNM'2010 which gives an opportunity to gather many experts from the FSU and neighboring countries of the East and South Europe, Asia, and overseas.
