The Swiss Terahertz prize at IRMMW-THz
Since 2019 we have given a terahertz generation and detection system to an outstanding student at the IRMMW-THz conference. The work below is theirs; our part is to equip it.
What is awarded
A complete generation and detection chain, not a voucher.
The winners are chosen independently by the conference. Swiss Terahertz provides the award and has no part in the decision.
