Organization of the 1993 Quantum Optoelectronics Topical Meeting, March 17-19, 1993, Palm Springs, CA.

该提案要求部分支持研究生，博士后和受邀演讲者参加将在棕榈泉举行的量子光电子学第一次专题会议的旅行资金，1993年3月17日至19日，在美国光学学会的赞助下。会议将提供一个独特的论坛，介绍和讨论当前器件物理和低维半导体及相关材料结构的应用研究。这包括由量子约束产生的光学和光电子现象，新型光发射器的制造，调制器，以及基于小器件结构的合成和纳米制造等效应和技术的探测器结构。基于半导体的量子阱、超晶格和异质结构在新型器件物理和器件工程方面取得了重大进展。量子线和量子点结构以及高质量材料中更复杂的低维结构使下一代光电器件成为可能。所要求的支持的一个目的是赞助年轻的研究人员，他们构成了该领域活跃社区的很大一部分。学生们将被要求以一份两页的信件报告的形式提供他们的经验反馈，该报告将被转发给NSF。

This proposal requests partial support for travel funds for graduate students, post docs, and invited speakers to attend the first topical meeting on Quantum Optoelectronics, to be held in Palm Springs, CA March 17-19, 1993, under sponsorship of the Optical Society of America. The meeting will provide a unique forum for presentation and disscussion of current research in device physics and applications of lower dimensional semiconductor and related materials structures. This includes optical and optoelectronic phenomena derived from quantum confinement, fabrication of novel light emitters, modulators, and detector structures based on such effects and techniques as synthesis and nanofabrication of small device configurations. Semiconductor-based quantum well, superlattice, and heterostructures have made significant inroads into novel device physics and device engineering. Quantum wire and dot structures as well as more complex low dimensional architectures in materials of exceptional quality now make possible the next generation of optoelectronic devices. One aim of the requested support is to sponsor young researchers who form a large portion of the active community in the field. The students will be asked to provide feedback as to their experience in the form of a two-page letter report that will be forwarded to NSF.
