WORKSHOP: ORGANIZATION OF THE 1996 INTEGRATED PHOTONICS RESEARCH TOPICAL MEETING, APRIL 28-MAY 3, 1996, BOSTON MA

小行星9625762 这是一个赠款的请求，用于支付出席OSA/IEEE集成光子学研究会议（IPR）的费用，供那些无法参加会议的美国学生选择。预计与会者将大大推动会议的教育和研究影响。 知识产权的一个非常重要的方面是它在导波光电子学领域的教育和培训中的独特作用。会议向学生和研究人员介绍了最新的想法和成果，并提供了一个与同事和领先科学家讨论和分享贡献的论坛。因此，我们在此提议的赠款的目的是帮助维持研究生参加会议。 目前，LEOS Annual、OFC、OSA Annual、CLEO和SPIE等大型会议越来越多地征求集成光学论文。 不幸的是，相对较少的研究人员能够参加所有这些论坛，而每年参加IPR的人数相对稳定在200-250人，其中15- 20%是学生。这引起了集成光学界许多成员的不满。 为了扭转这一趋势，加强知识产权的教育和研究内容，今年的会议进行了几个重大变化。 首先，技术项目委员会成员从44人扩大到59人。许多新成员加入，以帮助组织八个半自治研讨会的关键新兴领域的导波光学，从硅光子学和并行光学互连光学系统建模和集成光学和微加工。在今后几年中，较成功的专题讨论会有望发展成为会议的常设分单位，并将视需要设立更多的专题讨论会。由于专题讨论会的论文经过同样的仔细审查过程正常贡献的论文，我们希望在这种方式下，结合联合收割机的灵活性，一个小型专题会议的格式与高科学标准，通常与大型专业会议。 与此同时，IPR将继续在其核心领域提供完整的定期提交论文计划-数值模拟和设计，有源半导体器件，介质波导和波导器件以及光子元件制造和封装技术。这些会议传统上吸引了来自广泛组织背景的导波光学领域的许多顶尖国际科学家。实际上，1995年知识产权会议注册者的地理分布是：南北美洲：54%，欧洲：25%，太平洋沿岸：60%。 ***

9625762 Hennage This is a request for a grant towards defraying the cost of attendance at the OSA/IEEE Integrated Photonics Research Conference (IPR) for selected American students who would otherwise be unable to come to the meeting. It is expected that participation will significantly advance the educational and research impact of the conference. A very important aspect of IPR is its unique role in education and training in the field of guided-wave optoelectronics. The conference presents students and researchers with the latest ideas and results, and provides a forum for discussion and sharing contributions with colleagues as well as leading scientists. The purpose of the grant we propose here is therefore to help sustain the participation of graduate students in the meeting. At present large conferences such as the LEOS Annual, OFC, OSA Annual, CLEO and SPIE meetings are increasingly soliciting integrated optics papers. Unfortunately, relatively few researchers are able to attend all these forums, while yearly attendance at IPR has remained relatively constant at 200-250 attendees with 15-20 % being students. This has led to some dissatisfaction among many members of the integrated optics community. To reverse this trend by strengthening the educational and research content of IPR, the conference this year has undergone several major changes. First, the technical program committee has been expanded from 44 to 59 members. Many of the new members were added to help organize eight semi-autonomous symposia on key emerging areas in guided-wave optics ranging from Silicon Photonics and Parallel Optical Interconnects to Optical System Modeling and Integrated Optics and Micromachining. In future years, the more successful symposia will hopefully develop into permanent sub-units of the conference and additional symposia will be established as warranted. Since symposia papers undergo the same careful review process as normal contributed papers, we hope in this mann er to combine the flexibility of a small topical meeting format with the high scientific standards normally associated with large professional meetings. At the same time, IPR will continue to offer a full program of regular submitted papers in its core areas - numerical simulation and design, active semiconductor devices, dielectric waveguides and waveguide devices and photonic component manufacturing and packaging technology. These sessions traditionally have attracted many of the top international scientists in the guided-wave optics field from a wide cross-section of organizational backgrounds. Indeed, the geographic distribution of registrants for IPR'95 was - North/South America: 54%, Europe: 25%, and Pacific Rim: 60%. ***
