U.S.-Australia Joint Workshop on Nonlinear Optical Materialsand Devices; Orlando, Florida

该奖项支持在澳大利亚举办的“非线性光学材料和器件”研讨会的后续研讨会，该研讨会由电光和激光研究中心ıCREOL联合主办。中佛罗里达大学和监视研究实验室ı光电子学部门！在南澳大利亚的索尔兹伯里。这项奖励提供资金，用于在1992年初在奥兰多地区租用一个有会议设施的合适场地，为期五天，并为CREOL参与者提供当地旅行支助。非线性光学和激光科学是以光学为基础的技术的基础，在下个世纪将具有越来越重要的作用。这些技术涉及光学计算、信息处理、显示器、通信、制造业和医学，最终可能在这些领域与目前基于电子和硅的技术相媲美。本次研讨会将聚焦于三个进一步合作的领域：(1)光学限幅的理解和技术(美国的E.W.van Strland，D.J.Hagan和Mansoor Sheik-Bahae博士与澳大利亚的J.Hermann和P.Chapple博士合作)；(2)多量子阱ıMQW！成长和表征(由CREOL的A.Miller博士和澳大利亚国防科技组织ı的R.T.Hartley博士合作完成！谁经营着两个分子束外延ı分子束外延！其中包括：(1)用于红外探测器应用的HgTe-CdTe MQW超晶格生长设备，其中DSTO用于MQW的生长设施补充了CREOL的表征设施；以及(3)非线性晶体和激光基质材料的生长(与CREOL的Bruce H.T.Chai博士以及DSTO的Bob Seymore和Peter Picone博士合作)。

This award supports a follow-up workshop in the U.S. of a previous workshop in Australia on "Nonlinear Optical Materials and Devices" sponsored jointly by the Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers ıCREOL! of the University of Central Florida and the Optoelectronics Division of the Surveillance Research Laboratory ıSRL! in Salisbury, South Australia. This award provides funds to rent a suitable venue with conference facilities within the Orlando area for a five-day period in early 1992 as well as to provide local travel support for CREOL participants. Nonlinear optics and laser science are fundamental to optics-based technologies which will assume increasing importance in the next century. These technologies, involving optical computing, information processing, displays, communications, manufacturing industry and medicine, could eventually rival the present day technologies based on electronics and silicon in these areas. This workshop will focus on three areas for further collaboration: (1) optical limiting understanding and technology (with collaboration between Drs. E.W. Van Stryland, D.J. Hagan and Mansoor Sheik-Bahae in the U.S. and Drs. J. Hermann and P. Chapple in Australia); (2) multiple quantum well ıMQW! growth and characterization (with collaboration between Dr. A. Miller at CREOL and Dr. R. T. Hartley of the Australian Defense Science & Technology Organization ıDSTO! who runs two molecular-beam epitaxy ıMBE! machines for growing HgTe-CdTe MQW superlattices on GaAs and CdZnTe substrates for infrared detector applications, where DSTO's growth facilities for MQW's complement CREOL's characterization facilities); and (3) growth of nonlinear crystals and laser host materials (with collaboration between Dr. Bruce H.T. Chai at CREOL and Drs. Bob Seymore and Peter Picone at DSTO).
