Day 1, Wed. October 12, 7:00 PM, Lecture 1:
Title: “Terahertz Transceivers and Potential
Applications”, Dr. Eric Mueller, Coherent Inc
Abstract: A great deal of work has been performed in THz
imaging utilizing short-pulse broad-band THz transceivers. More recently
groups have begun to do similar imaging work with CW THz sources. While
much of that work has utilized incoherent detectors, some groups have
started to use fully-coherent transceivers to realize more than 10 orders
of magnitude improvement in available dynamic range. This talk will
provide an overview of THz transceiver technologies with an emphasis on
fully-coherent CW transceivers, and include a review of material
properties in the THz band. Background motivation for CW imaging will be
presented along with both amplitude and phase-contrast CW THz images.
Biography: Dr. Mueller has a PhD. in Physics from the
University of Massachusetts. His PhD. work included: the first
identification of D-centers (two electrons bound to one donor center) in
semiconductor quantum wells (SQW), the first measurements of the
central-cell correction for donors in SQWs, and the first use of a SQW as
a THz heterodyne receiver. After completing his PhD., Dr. Mueller
accepted a position at the Submillimeter Technology Laboratory (STL) at
UMass-Lowell and an Adjunct Professorship in the Physics Department.
During his tenure at STL he made a number of individual contributions
including: developing the world's first coherent THz laser radar,
co-inventing the etalon diplexer, inventing a new type of single-sideband
receiver, developing a THz sideband-generator-based laser radar, and
developing a model required to begin the detailed design of the 2.5 THz
space laser. Dr. Mueller left UMass in 1996 to be part of the startup of
DeMaria Electro-Optic Systems (DEOS). While at DEOS, and subsequently
Coherent, Dr. Mueller has helped in building a substantial development
group and scientific CO2/THz product portfolio for Coherent. Dr. Mueller
has provided oversight to the team's activities, managed a number of
programs, and authored a number of key patents. Some of the programs are:
LLO (the 2.5 THz space laser which is now in-orbit), the NIST laser leak
detector ATP, the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center tunable THz laser
program (this program won the 2001 Tibbetts award for "Exemplifying
Excellent in SBIR Research"), the NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center
air-cooled THz laser program, the SALTI program (Synthetic Aperture LADAR
for Tactical Imaging - this will be the world's first flight laser SAR),
and Whisper (a special purpose commercial laser-based system). Dr.
Mueller serves on the program committees for a number of topical
conferences including the Military Sensing Symposium on Active E-O Systems
and the newly formed THz section of CLEO. In 2004 Dr. Mueller was elected
to the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering in recognition of
"his pioneering work in CW THz sources and transceivers". Dr. Mueller is
a member of the Technology Advisory Council of Coherent, Inc.
Day 1, Wed. October 12, 8:15 PM, Lecture 2:
Title: “Chemical Recognition and Remote Sensing in the
THz Spectral Region”, Dr. Mark G. Allen, Physical Science Inc.
Abstract: New sources in the THz spectral region permit
accessing the unique spectroscopic signatures of gases, liquids, and solid
materials. In many cases, these spectroscopic signatures may be probed
while the material is enclosed in a package that is opaque to traditional
light sources. Thus, new opportunities for chemically-specific sensors in
both in-situ and stand-off, or remote sensing, configurations are
possible. This tutorial will begin by exploring the intra- and
inter-molecular origin of spectroscopic signatures in selected gases,
liquids, and solids. It will also describe the transmission spectra of
many common packaging materials and highlight spectral regions where
through-packaging inspection of chemical substances may be possible. Much
basic spectroscopic data in the THz region is acquired through laboratory
studies using pulsed, broadband THz sources derived from mode-locked
visible lasers. The tutorial will explore the use of laser-based THz
sources for quantitative spectroscopic measurements, including the
time-domain formulation of the complex Beer's Law, methods for optimal
numerical filtering of frequency inversions, and experimental methods for
reliable and repeatable spectroscopic measurements of condensed phase
materials in time-domain measurement systems. Differential Absorption
LIDAR techniques are being adapted for use as standoff sensors in the THz
spectral region. The tutorial will discuss general approaches to this
problem, especially with respect to THz emitter selection, atmospheric
spectral windows for long-distance transmission, and signal processing
algorithms. The use of THz QCL's in these applications will be analyzed
in detail.

Technology.
Day 2, Wed. October 19, 7:00 PM, Lecture 3:
Title: “Terahertz Radiation in Ferroelectric Crystals:
Spectroscopy, Coherent Control, Polaritonics, and Applications”, Dr. David
Ward, Harvard University
Abstract: When terahertz radiation propagates in an
ionic crystal the electromagnetic field couples to the phonon modes of the
crystal resulting in an admixture of photons and phonons known as phonon-polaritons.
The variation of the index of refraction from the ionic displacements
associated with the phonon component of the mixture can be imaged using
standard techniques of phase-to-amplitude imaging and facilitates direct
observation of the electromagnetic wave as it propagates through the host
crystal. If a ferroelectric crystal is employed, then optical laser light
can generate the terahertz radiation through impulsive stimulated Raman
scattering or difference frequency mixing. This is easily implemented
with a standard Ti:Saph amplified laser system. Patterning of the host
crystal facilitates an all-optical, single crystal platform providing
generation, guidance, signal processing, and detection of terahertz
radiation and requires no free space propagation. Further, optical pulse
shaping enables coherent control over the terahertz waveforms generated.
These polaritonic devices fill the gap between electronics and photonics.
Generation, propagation, guidance, control, and detection of terahertz
radiation in ferroelectric crystals, as well as applications, will be
presented.
Biography: David W. Ward received his B.S. degree in
physics in 1999 from the College of Charleston and his Ph.D. in physical
chemistry in 2005 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr.
Ward is a co-founder of the field of polaritonics, which is an
intermediate frequency regime between electronics and photonics where
signals are manifest as admixtures of photons and phonons. He is
presently a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University. His interests are
in terahertz technology, negative refraction, nanophotonics, single
molecule detection, and finite-difference time-domain and molecular
dynamics simulations. Dr. Ward received the Qauttrochi scholarship as an
undergraduate and was a finalist for the Truman Fellowship. He is a
member of the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America,

Title: “TBD”, Prof. James Kolodzey, ECE Dept.,
University of Delaware
Day 3, Wed. October 26, 7:00 PM, Lecture 5:
Title: “Generating, Guiding, and Detecting Terahertz
Radiation”, Dr. Jason Deibel, EE & CS Dept., Rice University
Abstract: The terahertz (THz) region of the
electromagnetic spectrum (100 GHz to 10 THz) remained relatively
unexplored until developments in ultra fast laser technology provided
techniques for the generation and detection of THz radiation. As most
dielectric materials are transparent at these frequencies and metals are
opaque, there has been considerable interest in developing THz technology
as an imaging technique for biomedical, industry, and security
applications. The high temporal resolution and broad fractional bandwidth
associated with THz radiation has also generated interest within the
spectroscopy community. In order to develop applications based on
terahertz technology, attention must be devoted to several basic yet
integral aspects of working with radiation in this regime. During this
workshop session, methods for the generation and detection of terahertz
radiation will be covered, including the use of photoconductive antennas,
electro-optic materials, and semiconductors. We will also briefly focus
on my own research in terahertz emission spectroscopy which is not only an
effective method of testing novel terahertz sources, but it is also is an
effective tool for investigating the various mechanisms responsible for
terahertz generation and for characterizing material properties. The
second half of the session will be spent discussing the guided propagation
of terahertz waves. The development of terahertz waveguides has been
stymied by the difficulty in finding a structure and material that
exhibits low loss and dispersion at terahertz frequencies. Recently, our
group at Rice University showed that simple metal wires could be
effective terahertz waveguides that exhibit very low loss and dispersion.
Using this method, the very first terahertz endoscope was developed and
demonstrated. Along with these results, I will present Finite Element
Method (FEM) simulation results of the propagation of terahertz waves
along metal wires.
Biography: Jason A. Deibel received the B.A. degree in
both physics (with honors) and mathematics with a history minor from
Transylvania University, Lexington, KY in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree in
applied physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI in 2004.
His dissertation focused on the use of nonlinear optical polymers in
ultrafast electro-optic sampling measurements. He is currently a
post-doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at Rice University, Houston, TX, working with
Professor Daniel Mittleman on various aspects of terahertz imaging and
spectroscopy. His research interests include terahertz emission
spectroscopy of novel inorganic and organic semiconductors,
photoconductive antenna design, and finite element method simulations of
terahertz guided wave propagation. Dr. Deibel is a member of the Optical
Society of America and the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society and is
currently a Director of Central Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellow.
Day 3, Wed. October 26, 8:15 PM, Lecture 6:
Title: “DOD Terahertz Applications”, Dr. Sumanth Kaushik,
MIT Lincoln Lab, Lexington, MA
Day 4, Wed. November 2, 7:00 PM, Lecture 7:
Title: “Low-Noise Terahertz Receivers for Space Science
and Terrestrial Imaging Applications”, Prof. K. Sigfrid Yngvesson, EE & CS
Dept, UMASS, Amherst
Abstract: This talk will review recent progress related
to low-noise Terahertz (THz) receivers. The last decade has seen the
development of Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB) receivers with superconducting
(especially NbN) elements that have decreased the noise temperatures
obtained above 1 THz by about an order-of-magnitude compared with earlier
technology (Schottky-barrier diode mixers). The University of
Massachusetts has led the installation of a 1.2 THz to 1.5 THz HEB
receiver based on the AST/RO 1.7 meter diameter telescope at the South
Pole. Developments in Europe have led to THz HEB receivers that will be
launched on the Herschel spacecraft in 2007. We will briefly discuss the
design of such receivers, the current state-of-the-art, and the ultimate
limits to their noise temperature due to quantum noise. The above
astronomical application developments have also resulted in the
availability of a new low noise detector technology that can be applied in
terrestrial systems. For example, UMass has demonstrated a THz focal plane
array as a prototype for future arrays needed for imaging systems that
can produce THz images at video rates. Early results obtained with such a
system will be discussed, and other possible applications for the new
technology will be identified.
Biography: Professor Sigfrid Yngvesson received his
graduate degrees in Physical Electronics (Tekn.lic., 1965, and
Tekn.Dr., 1968, resp.) from the Department of Electrical
Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. He
has done research in the Physics Department at the University of
California, Berkeley (1964-1966, and 1968-1970) and has been
teaching at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, since 1970, where
he became a full professor in 1978. Professor Yngvesson was elected a
fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in
1998. His field is microwave, millimeter wave and submillimeter wave
(terahertz) devices and applications, especially low noise
receivers with applications to astronomy and space science. In the last
fifteen years his research has primarily dealt with the development and
application of hot electron bolometer heterodyne receivers for the
terahertz frequency range. He also works on microwave applications to
Chemical engineering problems in catalysis. He is the author of “Microwave
Semiconductor Devices”, a text and reference book (Kluwer Academic
Publishers, 1991) as well as over 50 papers in refereed journals.
Day 4, Wed. November 2, 7:50 PM, Lecture 8:
Title: “Measurement Aspects of Terahertz Technologies”,
Dr. Eyal Gerecht, NIST
Abstract: Imaging and spectroscopy at terahertz
frequencies (defined roughly as 300 GHz – 3 THz) have great potential for
both healthcare and homeland security applications. Terahertz frequencies
correspond to the rotational energy level transitions of important
molecules in biology and astrophysics. Terahertz radiation (T-rays) can
penetrate clothing and, to some extent, can also penetrate biological
materials, and because of their shorter wavelengths they offer higher
spatial resolution than microwaves or millimeter waves. However,
development of terahertz technologies is impeded or even prevented by the
lack of standards and the inability to perform precise measurements to
characterize noise, power, dielectric constants, and scattering parameters
of systems and components operating at terahertz frequencies. Without
noise characterization capability, for example, it is impossible to
separate signal from background. This problem is particularly challenging
in the terahertz range, which lies between the microwave/millimeter-wave
range and the infrared range, both of which have well developed methods
and technology for measuring noise and sensitivity. However, neither set
of tools for noise measurements can be extended directly to terahertz
frequencies. In addition, the dominant source for noise in electronic
systems at terahertz frequencies, other than thermal noise, which is
dominant at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies, is quantum noise
due to vacuum fluctuations, which dominates at optical frequencies. In
the terahertz range, both quantum and thermal noise are important and must
be dealt with. Similar arguments can be applied to power and material
measurements at terahertz frequencies. I will discuss in detail
measurement techniques currently available at terahertz frequencies. In
addition, I will describe the work in progress at NIST aimed to provide
better tools for the development of terahertz technologies in the future.
Biography: Dr. Eyal Gerecht received his Ph.D. degrees
in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst in 1998. In 1998, he joined the Department of
Physics and Astronomy at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst as a
Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate. Since 2000, he has been a
physicist in the Electromagnetics Division at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, Boulder, CO. developing a number of terahertz
technologies for imaging and spectroscopy for homeland security and
biomedical applications. Dr. Eyal Gerecht is one of the US leaders in the
development of the near quantum-noise limited phonon-cooled HEB mixer
receivers, funded primarily by NASA and NSF. Dr. Gerecht is a Co-PI of the
successful development and installation (in 2002-2003) at the US South
Pole Station of the 1.25 THz to 1.5 THz spectroscopical receiver system
(TREND).
Day 4, Wed. November 2, 8:40 PM, Lecture 9:
Title: “High Power THz Generation”, Dr. Gwyn Williams,
Jefferson Lab
Abstract: Light is one of our prime tools for
understanding both the form and function of materials ranging from
superconductors to proteins, yet there is a gap in the electromagnetic
spectrum between electronics and photonics at frequencies around 1 THz.
Recently at Jefferson Lab, (Nature 420 153-156 (2002)), we demonstrated
the production of THz light that was 10,000 times brighter than any
previous source. We have subsequently taken this work to higher powers and
constructed a user facility for its exploitation. We will discuss the
physics of the new generation of accelerator-based light sources which we
used for these experiments, and further describe future possibilities for
yet higher power.
Biography: Gwyn Williams is a Senior Physicist and Basic
Research Program Manager at the Free Electron Laser facility (FEL) at
Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia, and a Fellow of the American
Physical Society. He is also head of the JLab high power THz facility.
Since obtaining his PhD from Sheffield University in the UK in 1971, Gwyn
has co-authored 220 research publications, most of them in the surface
science area, and several book chapters. The bulk of his career has been
at Brookhaven National Laboratory but 5 years ago he moved to Jefferson
Lab in Virginia. Gwyn’s research has involved understanding the
fundamental physical behavior of materials and surfaces via photoemission
studies of the electronic structure, and infrared studies of the
vibrational dynamics of adsorbates. His research has motivated a lifelong
parallel development of ultra-bright light sources as probes, a path that
recently took him into the THz regime using the ultrafast facilities that
are part of the FEL facility. He was the 1990 recipient of an R&D 100
Award for developing a wavefront dividing interferometer for use with
ultrabright sources. His current research programs involve studies of the
frequency dependent conductivity of gold nanowires on vicinal silicon
surfaces and of the dynamics of bonding vibrational modes in both time and
frequency domains. Gwyn currently serves on a number of scientific
advisory committees for large facilities around the world, has served as
editor for several journals, and currently is on the editorial board of
the Review of Scientific Intrsuments, and Synchrotron Radiation News.
Day 5, Wed. November 9, 7:00 PM, Lecture 10:
Title: “Terahertz Technology in Outer and Inner Space”,
Dr. Peter Siegel, Caltech (Beckman Institute)
Abstract: After more than 30 years of niche applications
in the space sciences area, the field of Terahertz Technology is entering
a true Renaissance. While major strides continue to be made in
submillimeter wave astronomy and spectroscopy, the past few years have
seen an unprecedented expansion of terahertz applications, components and
instruments. Broad popular interest in this unique frequency domain has
emerged for the first time, spanning applications as diverse as biohazard
detection and tumor recognition. Already there are groups around the
world who have applied specialized Terahertz techniques to disease
diagnostics, recognition of protein structural states, monitoring of
receptor binding, performing label-free DNA sequencing and visualizing
contrast in otherwise uniform tissue. A commercial terahertz imaging
system has recently started tests in a hospital environment and new high
sensitivity imagers with much deeper penetration into tissue have begun to
emerge. Solicitations for more sophisticated instruments and enabling
terahertz components have filtered into US agency proposal calls from DoD
and NASA, to NSF and NIH, and many new research groups have sprung up,
both in this country and in Europe and Asia. This talk will broadly
survey terahertz technology from its cradle applications in space science
and spectroscopy to more recent biomedical and chemical uses.
Biography: Peter H. Siegel obtained a BS in astronomy
and physics from Colgate University, Hamilton NY in 1976, a Masters in
Physics and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in
1978 and 1983 respectively. He has been involved in the analysis and
development of millimeter-and submillimeter-wave sensors for nearly 30
years. He began his career in millimeter wave technology in 1975 as a
summer student at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York
City, working with astronomer Patrick Thaddeus and electrical engineer
Tony Kerr on low noise receivers. In 1983 he moved up in frequency to the
submillimeter, working as a National Research Council Fellow on THz planar
antenna arrays. From 1984-87 Dr. Siegel was employed at the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory where he worked with Sandy Weinreb and the
millimeter wave receiver group in Charlottesville Virginia, maintaining
the Kitt Peak National Radio Observatory. He moved to JPL in 1987 to work
on advanced technology development for NASA astrophysics applications.
Day 5, Wed. November 9, 8:15 PM, Lecture 11:
Title: “Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers”, Prof. Qing Hu,
EE & CS, MIT
Abstract: Terahertz frequencies are among the most
underdeveloped of the electromagnetic spectra, even though their potential
usefulness can have a major impact on many areas of life today. This
underdevelopment is primarily due to the lack of coherent solid-state THz
sources. Unipolar lasers based on intersubband transitions of
semiconductor quantum wells were proposed for long-wavelength sources and
amplifiers as early as in the 1970s. Electrically pumped intersubband-transition
lasers (known as quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs)) at ~4-µm wavelength were
first developed at Bell Laboratories in 1994. However, the development of
their THz counterparts turned out to be much more difficult, because of
two unique challenges at THz frequencies. First, the energy level
separations that correspond to THz frequencies are quite narrow (~10 meV).
Thus, the selective depopulation mechanism based on energy-sensitive
LO-phonon scattering, which has been widely used in mid-infrared QCLs, is
not applicable. Second, low-loss optical mode confinement is difficult to
implement at THz frequencies. In October 2001, almost eight years after
the initial development of QCLs, the first QCL operating below 4.4 THz,
was developed. This laser was based on a chirped superlattice structure
that had been successfully developed at mid-infrared frequencies. Mode
confinement in this THz QCL was achieved using a double-surface plasmon
waveguide grown on a semi-insulating (SI) GaAs substrate. Shortly
afterward, THz QCLs based on a bound-to-continuum intersubband transition
were also developed, which have yielded higher operating temperatures and
greater output power levels than those based on chirped-superlattice
structures. Our group at MIT has pursued a different approach to achieve
lasing at THz frequencies. We have investigated possibilities of using
fast LO-phonon scattering to depopulate the lower radiative level, and
using double-sided metal-metal waveguides for THz mode confinement. In
November 2002, a 3.4-THz QCL was developed in which the depopulation of
the lower radiative level was achieved through resonant LO-phonon
scattering. Following our initial success in developing the 3.4-THz
laser, we demonstrated the first terahertz QCL that uses a double-sided
metal-metal waveguide for mode confinement. Based on this metal-metal
waveguide structure and using improved gain media that reduced the lasing
threshold current densities, we have achieved several records in the
performance of THz QCLs. Meanwhile, our collaborators in Europe have
successfully pumped a superconducting heterodyne receiver using one of the
our THz QCLs as the local oscillator, and they have achieved a record-low
receiver noise temperature of 1400 K at 2.8 THz. For sensing and
local-oscillator applications, our collaborators at University of Colorado
have demonstrated frequency/phase locking of our THz QCLs with a FWHM
linewidth of 65 kHz, obtained over an indefinitely long period of time.
This rapid development is encouraging and we are optimistic that THz QCLs
will find immediate applications in imaging experiments.
