Electron intersubband transitions in quantum wells are the primary physicalmechanism for the generation and detection of mid- and far-infrared(terahertz) radiation as used in quantum cascade lasers and quantum wellinfrared photodetectors. This range of wavelengths has applications inmolecular sensing, atmospheric and pollution monitoring security, medical imaging and secure communications. Thescientific community is now looking at other material systems for evenbroader wavelength coverage and high temperature operation as well asintersublevel transitions in quantum dots for improved device performance: allof these aspects are discussed in the biennial International Conference onIntersubband Transitions in Quantum Wells (ITQW) which the authors havefought hard to secure for the U.K. in September 2007 after losing out on two previous occasions to Switzerland in 2003 and Cape Cod in 2005. Theauthors seek modest funding from the EPSRC to help support this prominentevent and showcase the leading U.K. work in this research field.

量子井中的电子间侧跃迁是在量子级联激光器和量子Wellinfrared光电探测器中使用的主要和远红外（Terahertz）辐射的主要物理机制。这一范围的波长具有分子传感，大气和污染监测安全性，医学成像和安全通信的应用。科学社区现在正在寻找其他材料系统，用于均匀的波长覆盖范围和高温操作，以及在量子点中进行的浮动过渡以提高设备的性能：在两年一次的国际国际会议上，在量子井（ITQW）上努力确保了两次在2007年以前的量子井（ITQW）上，在两年一次的国际国际会议上进行了努力，以确保两者在2007年的量子（ITQW）上进行了努力。 2003年和2005年的科德角（Cape Cod）。Theauthors寻求EPSRC的适度资金，以帮助支持这一突出者并展示该研究领域的英国领先工作。
