IRMMW-THz 2008

33rd International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves and 16th International Conference on Terahertz Electronics

September 15 – 19, 2008

California Institute of Technology,

Pasadena,  California, USA

The International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves/THz Electronics (IRMMW-THz), now in its 35th year, is the oldest and largest continuous forum specifically devoted to the field of ultra high frequency electronics and applications. The IRMMW conference and its long-time accompanying monthly publication, The International Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves, were among the very first scientific outlets for the burgeoning field of far infrared components and instruments that arose in the mid 1970s. The scope of the conference extends from millimeter wave devices, components and systems to far-infrared detectors and instruments. It encompasses micro- and nano-scale structures to large accelerators and Tokomaks and applications as diverse as space science, biology and medicine. The conference typically alternates between Europe, Asia and the US on a three year cycle.
