Highlights and Review of the Submillimeter Wave Symposium

The program of the International Conference on Submillimeter Waves and Their Applications, held on June 5, 6, 7, 1974 in Atlanta, will be reviewed. The conference reflects the many advances which have been made in recent years as a result of the availability of improved submillimeter wave sources. Topics covered during the conference include sources (lasers, optically pumped lasers, and tunable sources), detectors, Fourier transform spectroscopy, and submillimeter applications to solid state investigations, plasma interactions, and cosmic and atmospheric physics.
