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

该奖项支持了之前在澳大利亚举办的“非线性光学材料与器件”研讨会的后续研讨会，该研讨会由电光与激光研究中心ıCREOL联合赞助！中佛罗里达大学和监控研究实验室光电子部ıSRL！在南澳大利亚的索尔兹伯里。这项奖励为1992年初在奥兰多地区租用一个有会议设施的合适场地提供资金，为期五天，并为CREOL参加者提供当地旅行支助。非线性光学和激光科学是光学技术的基础，在下个世纪将发挥越来越重要的作用。这些技术涉及光学计算、信息处理、显示、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。本次研讨会将重点关注三个领域的进一步合作：(1)光限制的理解和技术(与博士合作；E.W. Van Stryland， D.J. Hagan和Mansoor Sheik-Bahae博士在美国。J. Hermann和P. Chapple（澳大利亚）；(2)多量子阱ıMQW！（由CREOL的A. Miller博士和澳大利亚国防科学与技术组织的R. T. Hartley博士合作）ıDSTO！他负责两个分子束外延ıMBE！用于红外探测器应用的GaAs和CdZnTe衬底上生长hte - cdte MQW超晶格的机器，其中DSTO的MQW生长设施是对CREOL表征设施的补充)；(3)非线性晶体和激光宿主材料的生长(CREOL的Bruce H.T. Chai博士和dr。Bob Seymore和Peter Picone在DSTO)。

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).
