Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Laser Developmentand Applications

这个项目旨在让十名本科生， 从几个中央佛罗里达机构选择，以一年的 在激光器的开发和应用方面的研究经验。 研究中心的七位国际公认的教师 在电子光学和激光（CREOL）将作为研究 在这个项目中的监督员。 CREOL是世界领先的 在光学、激光开发和激光相关科学方面的卓越成就。 该计划将通过以下方式加强：（1）介绍课程， 光学和激光的基本原理，由三位校长讲授 （2）提供激光系统课程;（3） 专门为REU组织的每周研究研讨会 学生;（4）每周工业参观和研讨会，由 奥兰多地区众多的光学和激光公司;（5） 出席年度SPIE奥兰多光学会议，包括 修读其中一项短期课程;及（6）连续修读 校长对学生进步的监督 investigators. 大部分活动将在夏季进行 学期，学生们在秋季继续兼职， 春天 该计划的主要重点是鼓励 更多来自中佛罗里达的优秀本科生 该地区在光学领域进行研究生学习， 激光

This project is designed to expose ten undergraduate students, chosen from several Central Florida Institutions, to one year of research experience in the development and applications of lasers. Seven internationally recognized faculty in the Center for Research in Electro Optics and Lasers (CREOL) will act as Research Supervisors in this project. CREOL is a world leading center of excellence in optics, laser development and laser-related sciences. This program will be enhanced by: (1) an introductory course in the basic principals of optics and lasers, taught by three principal investigators; (2) the offering of a course on laser systems; (3) weekly research seminars organized specifically for the REU students; (4) weekly industrial visits and seminars, provided by the numerous optics and laser companies in the Orlando area; (5) attendance at the annual SPIE Orlando optics conference, including attendance at one of the many short courses; and (6) continuous monitoring of the students' progress by the principal investigators. Most of the activity will take place in the summer term, with the students continuing part-time in the fall and spring. The primary emphasis of this program is on encouraging more talented undergraduate students from the Central Florida region to pursue graduate studies in the field of optics and lasers.
