International Postdoctoral Fellows Program: Implementation of an NxN Crossbar Switch Using Piezoelectric Symmetric Self Electro-optic (S-SEED) Devices

该奖项隶属于国际青年研究员和博士后计划，使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖励为联合研究提供了机会，并利用独特或互补的设施、专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将支持Fred R. Beyette与英国谢菲尔德大学的Graham John Rees博士进行为期12个月的博士后研究访问。提出的研究涉及使用压电对称自电光（S-SEED）器件实现NxN交叉开关。主要目标是研究器件研究与系统演示之间的接口，开发用于NxN交叉开关的压电S-Seed器件阵列，利用交叉开关作为评估S-Seed阵列均匀性的试验台，并隔离基于这些器件的实际系统开发的障碍。＊＊＊

9505359 Beyette This award is under the International Junior Investigator and Postdoctoral Fellows Program, which enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Fred R. Beyette to work with Dr. Graham John Rees at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. The proposed research involves the implementation of an NxN crossbar switch using piezoelectric symmetric self electro- optic (S-SEED) devices. The main objectives are to investigate the interface between device research and system demonstration, to develop piezoelectric S-Seed device arrays for a NxN crossbar switch, to utilize the crossbar switch as a test bed for evaluation of S-SEED array uniformity, and to isolate barriers to the development of practical systems based on these devices. ***
