The first International Workshops on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT) was held in 1999 as a celebration event
for establishing FIR FU, and the second IW-FIRT was held in 2002 as a part of the Fukui University International
Congress to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of our university. The third IW-FIRT was held in 2010, eight
years after the second IW-FIRT, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of foundation of FIR FU. In the third IW-FIRT,
concentrated discussions were developed in a wide field of the far-infrared technologies. This is the reflection
of the great evolution and advancement of the research activities in the far-infrared region including terahertz
range in the last decade. Now, researches in this area have been more quickly developing.
Therefore, it is timely to hold the fourth IW-FIRT two years after the third IW-FIRT. Then, we have organized
the Fourth International Workshop on Far-Infrared Technologies in 2012 (IW-FIRT 2012). The workshop consists of
invited talks and a poster session with the following scope of topics:
1) Development of high power radiation sources in the far-infrared region,
2) High power terahertz technologies,
3) Terahertz spectroscopy,
4) Magnetic resonance phenomena in the far-infrared region,
5) Material development with high-power FIR sources, and
6) Other subjects related to the far-infrared region.
