Conference Support: Organization of Conference on Integrated Optics to be held in Monterey, CA, July 30-August1, 1990.

该基金支持于1990年7月30日至8月1日在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷举行的集成光学专题会议组织。本次专题会议将重点讨论光电集成电路（OEICs）领域，即在单个半导体芯片上单片集成光学和电子元件的电路。OEICs代表了一种设备技术，它有可能对未来的电信和计算系统需求产生重大影响。在单个芯片上集成非常不同的器件，在材料生长和器件制造方面存在重大挑战。日本在这项技术上取得了重大进展，特别是因为他们在光电子领域活跃的领先工业公司的优势，而在美国，这方面的努力非常分散。本次专题会议的目的是将来自工业界、政府实验室和学术界的oeic研究人员和学生聚集在一起，讨论该领域的最新发展，评估该技术的潜力和与制造相关的问题，并激发合作努力的创造。会议将重点讨论材料和制造问题以及系统应用。

This grant supports Organization of the topical meeting on Integrated Optics, Monterey, CA, July 30 - Aug. 1, 1990. This topical meeting will highlight the area of Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (OEICs), which are circuits that monolithically integrate optical and electronic components on a single semiconductor chip. OEICs represent a device technology which has the potential to make a major impact in future telecommunications and computing systems requirements. There are major challenges in materials growth and device fabrication that are presented by the integration of very different devices on a single chip. The Japanese have made significant advances in this technology, particulary because of the strengths of their leading industrial firms active in optoelectronics, whereas in the United States the efforts have been very fragmented. The goal of this topical meeting is to bring together researchers and students working on OEICs, from industry, government labs, and academia, to discuss the latest developments in the field, to assess the potential of the technology and the problems related to fabrication, and to stimulate the creation of collaborative efforts. The meeting will focus on materials and fabrication issues as well as systems applications.
