****** THz2003 Final Call for Paper ****** The 11th IEEE International Conference on Terahertz Electronics September 24-27, 2003 Sendai International Center, Sendai, Japan http://www.thz2003.org/ THz 2003 will be held in Sendai, Japan, commencing in the evening of September 24 (Wed) and running until late afternoon on Sep. 26 (Fri). Important Deadlines: * Submission of Abstracts: May 11, 2003 * Notification of Acceptance: June 20, 2003 * Pre-registration: Aug. 25, 2003 * Obligatory Confirmation of Attendance: Aug. 25, 2003 The main goal of this series of conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of information on physics, technologies, and applications of the new and interdisciplinary field of infrared- terahertz-millimeter frequency regions and to discuss future directions of terahertz technologies in order to foster applications of the emerging technologies. The topics of this conference will be the recent developments in THz sources and detectors, THz spectroscopy and imaging, biomedical applications, RF-MEMS, and THz system integrations, etc. Scope: The following is a representative list of topics to be covered at the conference; * Generation : pulsed THz generation, optical parametric generation, photomixing, quantum cascade lasers, new concepts for solid state THz sources, recent developments in existing solid state sources and multiplier technologies * Detection : semiconductor/superconductor detectors and mixers, photon counting devices, broadband coherent detection, ultrafast photodetectors * Devices and Components : new fabrication and integration technologies, RF-MEMS, photonic crystals, waveguides * Spectroscopy : ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter, gases, liquids and biological materials, new spectroscopic systems, environmental monitoring * Imaging : near-field microscopy, tomography, new imaging systems * Biomedical and Other Topical Applications : biomedical spectroscopy and imaging * Ultrafast Telecommunication Systems Submission of Abstracts: Prospective authors are requested to submit their one-page camera-ready abstract in the PDF format by May 11, 2003. Completed abstracts should be e-mailed to thz2003_submit@riken.jp as a PDF attachment. Only in case the authors will not be able to prepare PDF files, MS Word files will also be accepted. Confirmation E-mail: After the abstract submission, a confirmation e-mail from the THz2003 Secretariat will be sent to you. If you have not received the confirmation e-mail within three days after the submission, please contact the THz2003 Secretariat. Please note that the confirmation e-mail will be sent only to the corresponding author, and not to the other co-authors. Registration Fee: Regular participants: 35,000 Yen (before Aug. 25); 40,000 Yen (after Aug. 25) Students: 20,000 Yen (before Aug. 25); 25,000 Yen (after Aug. 25) A special discount will be offered to the participants who will attend both THz2003 and IRMMW2003 ! 20,000 Yen for regular participants and 10,000 Yen for students will be paid back at the IRMMW2003 registration desk. There will be a one-night post-conference excursion to Sakunami Spa- Resort on Sept. 26, and this will be followed by a tour of the laboratories at RIKEN and Tohoku Univ. on Sept. 27. After the tour, the bus will take participants to Sendai station and Sendai airport, so that those who wish to do so can go on to IRMMW2003. Registration fee does not include post-conference excursion.
