Description: This award is for the support of a collaborative research by Dr. Clifford Pollock, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Cornell University and Dr. Alphan Sennaroglu, Assistant Professor of Physics at Koc University in Istanbul, Turkey. The scientists aim at developing a room temperature, broadly tunable solid-state laser based on chromium-doped zinc selenide (Cr:Z-S). This laser will be suitable for applications such as remote sensing, LIDAR, and medical diagnosis. They will investigate ways of pumping the laser crystals using powerful continuous wave lasers, and explore methods for improving the Cr:Z-S crystal quality to reduce optical losses. They also plan to investigate Cr:Z-S waveguide structures, which would accommodate diode laser pumping. Scope: This project will support collaboration between a recognized leader in the field of optoelectronics and a young scientist at a new university in Turkey. The Turkish scientist received his Ph.D. degree four years ago under the P.I.'s supervision, and has since done significant research work, with important publications in the field, since his graduation. It is expected that this project will enable the two scientists to resume collaboration, this time between their respective laboratories, to their mutual benefit. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs.

描述：该奖项是为了支持康奈尔大学电气工程教授Clifford Pollock博士和土耳其伊斯坦布尔Koc大学物理学助理教授Alphan Sennaroglu博士的合作研究。科学家们的目标是开发一种基于铬掺杂硒化锌（Cr:Z-S）的室温、宽可调谐固体激光器。这种激光器将适用于遥感、激光雷达和医疗诊断等应用。他们将研究使用强大的连续波激光器泵浦激光晶体的方法，并探索改善Cr:Z-S晶体质量以减少光学损耗的方法。他们还计划研究Cr:Z-S波导结构，以适应二极管激光泵浦。项目范围：该项目将支持在光电子领域的公认领导者和土耳其一所新大学的年轻科学家之间的合作。这位土耳其科学家四年前获得了P.I.的博士学位自毕业以来，他在该领域做了重要的研究工作，并发表了重要的论文。预计该项目将使两位科学家恢复合作，这一次是在各自的实验室之间，以实现他们的互利。该项目完全符合国际项目司的目标。
