Strong School presence at IEEE Sensors 2011
November 2011
The 2011 flagship IEEE conference in Sensors was held in the last days of October in Limerick, Ireland. IEEE SENSORS 2011 was organised to provide a common forum for research scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research findings ideas, developments and applications in the area of sensors and sensing technology.
In addition to the usual conference contributions, this year Prof. Krikor Ozanyan organised and chaired a Topical Session "THz Sensing: Materials, Devices and Systems", with 10 invited and contributed talks from America, Europe and the Far East.
Recent achievements at Manchester in materials for narrowband THz emitters were presented in the invited talk by Prof. Mo Missous "Advanced MBE Low Temperature Grown Materials for CW THz Generation and Detection". Such novel emitters allow high-resolution THz spectroscopy to be achieved with communications laser diodes, or more powerful laser sources available in the University of Manchester Photon Science Institute.
