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. The fourth IW-FIRT was held in 2012. In these workshops concentrated discussions were made in a wide field of the far-infrared technologies.
Reflecting the fast evolution of far-infrared technologies and the rapid growth of the research activities in the far-infrared region including terahertz range, IW-FIRT has been held biennially from 2010.
Therefore, we organize the Fifth International Workshop on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT 2014). The workshop consists of invited talks, oral and poster presentations from contributed papers with the following scope of topics, with a special emphasis on the applications of high-frequency gyrotrons:
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.
