Photonic Sources & Detectors Workshop
Venue:Still Room, IET Teacher Building, 14 St Enoch Square, Glasgow, G1 4DB
Date: Wed 03 Mar 2010
Time: 1500 - 1800
Cost:FREE
Research and industry continue to push the availability of solid state sources and detectors into shorter UV, longer IR and Terahertz wavelengths. Devices at new wavelengths open up new applications and cause step changes in the cost and performance of systems which use them. New and potential applications include, Gas and Chemical Sensing (UV, IR), Disinfection (UV), Imaging (IR, THz), etc.
Speakers at the event summarised recent advances in the field. The event built on “UV, IR & THz Solid State Sources & Detectors” held on 14 January 2009, also run by the SOA. Output from the 2009 event included a document created by delegates, detailing key Applications, Features, Technology Drivers & Barriers for UV, IR and THz Sources & Detectors. This material was reviewed and discussed.
