9413705 Daneshgaran The objective of the proposed project is to equip a fiber optics laboratory for R&D on sensors and communications. The funds requested will permit the equipping of a fiber optics facility that will make possible state of the art R&D as well as provide a good training facility for undergraduate and Masters students. Since CSULA is a minority institution, the laboratory is closely related to real industry needs and interests. Three economic technology-rich growth areas targeted by the Administration are addressed by the work to be conducted in the laboratory: manufacturing process monitoring and control, environmental monitoring, and fiber optics communication for the information superhighway. A dozen projects are identified in the proposal, with applications in areas including geophysical, manufacturing process control, automotive sensors and displays, communications, microwave remote control, and optical beam steering . Two--a geophysical strainmeter and a towed array-- that have garnered particular interest by funding agencies are described in more detail. A number of the projects are derivatives of patented Hughes technologies, that the company is interested in seeing reduced to practice. Student involvement will be through several vehicles. The laboratory will be used for engineering design clinic projects funded by industry. It will also provide an extension to a Senior Design Laboratory that was built with $350 K of funds from Hughes, and will be used by seniors to fulfill their design project requirements. In addition, R&D at the frontiers of fiber optics applications and funded by federal and state science and technology agencies will be conducted with student participation. The laboratory will help bridge the gap between undergraduate, masters, and traditional doctoral graduate education by provide hands-on research experience. In addition, the close collaboration with industry will help students make the transition to industry upon graduation. The principal scientist involved in the project have complementary skills in fiber optics, electro-optics signal processing, communications, and control. The project is to be codirected by Dr. Victor Vali, who has set up and conducted fiber optics research at three institutions, and Dr. Fred Daneshgaran, who specializes in signal processing and communication theory. It is felt that the industry-oriented, multidisciplinary approach proposed here is lacking in may of the existing fiber optics work conducted in institutions of higher education. The total project cost over a three year period are $315,468, of which $220,828 is requested form NSF. Dr. victor Vali is contributing his time to set up the laboratory and to instruct students, staff and faculty on its operation. Funding for the twelve research areas described in the proposal will be the subject of subsequent proposals to interested agencies.

拟议项目的目标是为传感器和通信的研发配备光纤实验室。所要求的资金将用于光纤设备的装备，这将使最先进的研发成为可能，并为本科生和硕士生提供良好的培训设施。由于CSULA是一个少数机构，实验室与实际行业需求和利益密切相关。政府的目标是三个经济技术丰富的增长领域：制造过程监测和控制、环境监测和信息高速公路的光纤通信。提案中确定了十几个项目，应用领域包括地球物理、制造过程控制、汽车传感器和显示器、通信、微波遥控和光束转向。两种——地球物理应变仪和拖曳阵列——引起了资助机构的特别兴趣，并进行了更详细的描述。许多项目都是休斯专利技术的衍生产品，该公司有兴趣将其付诸实践。学生将通过几辆车参与。该实验室将用于工业资助的工程设计临床项目。它还将为高级设计实验室提供扩展，该实验室是由休斯提供的35万美元资金建造的，老年人将使用该实验室来满足他们的设计项目要求。此外，由联邦和州科学技术机构资助的光纤应用前沿的研发将在学生的参与下进行。该实验室将通过提供实践研究经验，帮助弥合本科、硕士和传统博士研究生教育之间的差距。此外，与工业界的密切合作将帮助学生在毕业后过渡到工业界。参与该项目的主要科学家在光纤、光电信号处理、通信和控制方面具有互补的技能。该项目将由维克多·瓦利博士（Victor Vali）和弗雷德·达内什加兰博士（Fred Daneshgaran）共同指导，前者曾在三家机构建立并开展光纤研究，后者专门研究信号处理和通信理论。本文提出的以工业为导向的多学科方法在现有的高等教育机构进行的光纤工作中是缺乏的。三年期间的项目总费用为315,468美元，其中220,828美元由国家科学基金会申请。victor Vali博士正在贡献他的时间来建立实验室，并指导学生，员工和教职员工的操作。提案中描述的12个研究领域的资金将成为后续向感兴趣机构提出的提案的主题。
