Welcome to the program page for OTST 2026. Here you will find the schedule of talks, poster sessions, and other events. The program is subject to change. Please check back regularly for updates.
X.C. Zhang
The University of Rochester
Topic: THz liquid photonics
This tutorial will cover recent progress in THz liquid photonics—an extension of our previous research on THz air photonics. Investigating THz generation from liquids may complete the final piece of the matter-phase puzzle in THz photonics.
