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.

我们提出了一个创新的项目，为在普林斯顿大学攻读光子学的研究生提供独特的研究和教育经验。所要求的5个研究生研究培训名额将加速电气工程系内新成立的光学和光电子工程系的发展。该项目形成了跨机构多学科合作的核心，为光学科学和工程提供教育和研究机会，包括光通信、先进光子材料和器件以及生物医学应用。为了促进和促进这一雄心勃勃的努力，1989年，在新泽西州的资助下，普林斯顿大学成立了光子学和光电子材料先进技术中心（ATC/POEM）。该中心将POEM的教师和学生与光子学行业紧密结合在一起，他们在过去几年中一直致力于从学术界到工业部门的有效技术转移计划。因此，POEM成为了这些大型和小型光电公司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的教师和他们的工业主管的直接联合监督下直接与这些公司合作。在附录中，我们包括四封来自工业参与者对这些研究生研究培训的承诺信。此外，我们将与本科院校密切合作，这些院校将作为高素质和感兴趣的本科生的“饲养者”，为学生和他们的本科导师提供光学科学和技术方面的相关经验。东北拥有丰富的本科院校，以其教育质量而闻名世界。因此，普林斯顿大学完全有能力与这些大学合作，在这个快速发展和重要的技术领域开展本科生暑期实习。作为一个起点，我们已经与斯沃斯莫尔学院达成了一项协议，让他们参加我们的本科生实习项目，作为普林斯顿光学项目未来研究生的供应商。
