Novel Photonic Materials

9402853 Ducharme这是一项在主要研究员实验室和电子材料实验室之间建立合作研究的倡议，该实验室由杰出科学家弗拉基米尔弗里德金博士领导，位于俄罗斯科学院晶体学研究所。 这两个实验室的兴趣和能力是互补的。 Fridkin的实验室在晶体和聚合物中的光铁电和光伏现象方面具有广泛的背景和当前的活动。 Ducharme的实验室正在研究聚合物的光折射和相关特性，以及其他新型光子材料和器件。 我们提议让弗里德金的一位同事瓦列里·拉扎列夫博士到杜查姆的实验室工作两年。 拉扎列夫将进行聚合物中光折变和光伏现象的实验研究，以及电光材料中热释电光栅的瞬态光栅研究。 他还将为Ducharme实验室正在进行的其他研究做出贡献。 弗里德金和他在莫斯科的同事将提供光子材料的样品，包括铁电聚合物和电光和光折射晶体。 Fridkin将开发结果的理论模型，并为Ducharme实验室正在进行的研究方向提供指导。 ***

9402853 Ducharme This is an initiative to establish collaborative research between the Principle Investigator's laboratory and the Electronic Materials Laboratory, headed by distinguished scientist Dr. Vladimir Fridkin, in the Institute of Crystallography of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The interests and capabilities of the two laboratories are complementary. Fridkin's laboratory has extensive background and current activity in photoferroelectric and photovoltaic phenomena in crystals and polymers. Ducharme's laboratory is studying photorefractive and related properties of polymers, as well as other novel photonic materials and devices. We propose to bring one of Fridkin's associates, Dr. Valeri Lazarev, to work in Ducharme's laboratory for two years. Lazarev will conduct experimental studies of photorefractive and photovoltaic phenomena in polymers and transient grating studies of the pyroelectric gratings in electro-optic materials. He will also contribute to other ongoing research in Ducharme's laboratory. Fridkin and his colleagues in Moscow will provide samples of photonic materials, including ferroelectric polymers and electro- optic and photorefractive crystals. Fridkin will develop theoretical models of the results and also provide guidance to the direction of the ongoing research in Ducharme's laboratory. ***
