The International Workshops on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT) has been held five times in the past: 1999, 2002, 2010, 2012 and 2014. In these workshops it was aimed to discuss the recent development and future directions of far-infrared and terahertz science and technologies with a special emphasis on high power radiation sources in this frequency region and their applications. On the other hand, the first International Symposium on Development of High Power Terahertz Science and Technology (DHP-TST 2013) was held in 2013 for discussion of the development of gyrotrons in sub-THz to THz band and their applications. This symposium was associated with the International Consortium "Promoting International Collaboration for Development and Application of Submillimeter Wave Gyrotrons," which consisted of six overseas institutions and three domestic institutions including FIR UF as the moderator institute. This International Consortium was reorganized and expanded in 2015 to the new International Consortium for "Development of High-Power THz Science and Technology" (http://fir.u-fukui.ac.jp/Website_Consortium/), which consists of thirteen institutions from the world including FIR UF as the facilitator institute. We feel that it is the time to organize IW-FIRT and DHP-TST as a joint meeting to update our knowledge and understanding in this rapidly developing field. Therefore, we organize the Sixth International Workshop on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT 2017) and The 2nd International Symposium on Development of High Power Terahertz Science and Technology (DHP-TST 2017) jointly, rather than organize them separately. An important aspect of this joint meeting is to discuss the present status and future prospect of application of high power terahertz technologies.
The joint workshop and symposium consist of invited talks, oral presentations, a panel discussion and a poster session with the following scope of topics:
1) Development of high power radiation sources in the far-infrared region,
2) Application of high power terahertz technologies especially to the following topics
2-1) Terahertz spectroscopy,
2-2) Magnetic resonance phenomena in the far-infrared region,
2-3) Material development with high-power FIR sources, and
3) Other subjects related to the far-infrared region.
