A new Graduate Traineeship Program in Ultrafast Optical Sciences will be established. The specific focus of the five traineeships will be on the University of Michigan's newly created Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS), an NSF Science and Technology Center created to enhance the nation's competitiveness in high-speed photonics and pulsed laser optics. This is a field where a well-documented demand exists for highly trained personnel who will lead the burgeoning revolution in optical science and technology. CUOS is inherently interdisciplinary in scope and draws on faculty and resources in several departments: Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry. These multidisciplinary components are integrated via a common emphasis on the utilization of high peak power lasers for new areas of fundamental science, and for technological applications that exploit the special characteristics of ultrafast light pulses. This comprehensive and innovative program addresses several crucial needs in graduate education: it aims to increase the number of American undergraduates going on to PhD studies in areas of national importance, it actively engages and nurtures underrepresented groups in the research of the Center, via a novel outreach initiative funded by University matching funds, and it addresses important issues of retention and time-to- degree by providing pre-enrollment summer research internships.

一个新的研究生培训计划在超快光学 将建立科学。 五个具体重点 实习生将在密歇根大学的新 美国国家科学基金会（NSF）超快光学科学中心（CUOS） 科学技术中心的建立，以提高国家的 在高速光子学和脉冲激光方面的竞争力 光学. 这是一个存在有据可查的需求的领域 为训练有素的人员谁将领导新兴的 光学科学技术的革命。 CUOS是 内在的跨学科的范围，并借鉴教师和 资源在几个部门：应用物理，电气 工程、物理和化学。 这些多学科 组件通过共同强调 利用高峰功率激光器的新领域 基础科学和技术应用， 利用超快光脉冲的特殊特性。 这一全面而创新的计划解决了几个问题 研究生教育的关键需求：它旨在增加 在美国攻读博士学位的本科生人数 在国家重要领域，它积极参与和培养 在该中心的研究中代表性不足的群体，通过一个 由大学配套资金资助的新的外联倡议， 它解决了保留和时间的重要问题， 通过提供入学前的夏季研究学位 实习
