Graduate Research Traineeships in Photonics

GER-9554533福雷斯特我们提出了一个创新的项目，为普林斯顿大学光子学专业的研究生提供独特的研究和教育经验。所要求的5个研究生级实习生职位将加快电气工程系内新设立的一个专注于光学和光电子工程的司的发展。该项目构成了跨机构多学科努力的核心，旨在提供光学科学和工程方面的教育和研究机会，包括光通信、先进的光子材料和设备以及生物医学应用。为了促进和促进这一雄心勃勃的努力，1989年，新泽西州拨款在普林斯顿建立了光子学和光电材料先进技术中心(ATC/POEM)。该中心将诗歌教师和学生与光电子行业紧密联系在一起，在过去的几年里，他们一直在进行一项有效的计划，将技术从学术界转移到工业部门。因此，无论是大的还是小的光电子公司，POPEN都是这些未来职业生涯的重点。作为这项提议的一部分，我们将鼓励学生在电气工程系教员和他们的工业主管之间的直接、共同监督下与这些公司直接合作。在附录中，我们包括了来自行业参与者对这些研究生研究实习生职位的四封承诺信。此外，我们将与本科院校密切合作，这些院校将充当高素质和有兴趣的本科生的“喂食者”，为学生和他们的本科生导师提供在光学科学和技术方面的相关经验。东北地区拥有丰富的本科院校，其教育质量享誉世界。因此，普林斯顿处于有利地位，可以与这些学院合作，在这个快速发展和重要的技术领域进行本科生暑期实习。作为起点，我们已经与斯瓦斯莫尔学院达成协议，参加我们的本科生实习计划，作为普林斯顿大学光学专业未来研究生的提供者。

GER-9554533 Forrest We propose an innovative program that provides unique research and educational experiences for graduate students pursuing a career in photonics at Princeton University. The requested five Graduate Research Traineeships will accelerate the growth of a newly established division concentrating on optics and optoelectronic engineering within the Department of Electrical Engineering. This program forms the nucleus of an inter-institutional multidisciplinary effort to provide educational and research opportunities in optical sciences and engineering, including optical communications, advanced photonic materials and devices, and biomedical applications. To promote and facilitate this ambitious effort, the Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Optoelectronic Materials (ATC/POEM) was established at Princeton through a grant from the State of New Jersey in 1989. This center tightly couples POEM faculty and students with the photonics industry, who have been engaged over the last several years in an effective program of technology transfer from academia to the industrial sector. Hence, POEM forms the focus of these future careers in both large and small photonics-based companies. As part of this proposal, we will encourage students to work directly with these companies under direct, joint supervision between the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and their industrial supervisor. In the Appendix we include four letters of commitment from industrial participants to these Graduate Research Traineeships. Furthermore, we will work closely with undergraduate institutions which will act as "feeders" of highly qualified and interested undergraduates, to provide both the student and their undergraduate advisor with relevant experiences in optical sciences and technology. The northeast has a wealth of undergraduate institutions which are world-renown for their quality of education. Hence, Princeton is well-positioned to engage jointly with these colleges in undergraduate summer internships in this rapidly advancing and important technological area. As a starting point, we have already established an agreement with Swathmore College to participate in our undergraduate intern program to act as a supplier of future graduate students to the optics program at Princeton.
