U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research on Photonic Memory Devices

9809932Agrawal该奖项将支持德鲁·梅瓦尔先生，博士。2009年，他成为罗切斯特大学Govind Agrawal教授的学生，与日本东京大学Yoshiaki中野教授合作进行论文研究。 Maywar先生将在日本工作12个月，研究用于光子分组交换电路的光学存储元件。 迄今为止，学生的论文研究主要集中在数值建模上。 拟议的制造和实验的目的是证明一个单向的，10 GHz的光缓冲器驱动的亚毫瓦保持光束。由于使用光传输线而导致的通信网络容量和性能的巨大增加预计将与网络节点技术的类似发展相匹配。 该项目的工作将朝着这一目标进行。 该项目使美国和日本互补实验室之间的合作成为可能，并为美国研究生提供国际研究经验。

9809932AgrawalThis award will support Mr. Drew Maywar, a Ph.D. student under Professor Govind Agrawal, University of Rochester, to conduct dissertation research in collaboration with Professor Yoshiaki Nakano at the University of Tokyo in Japan. Mr. Maywar will spend 12 months working in Japan on optical memory elements for use in photonic packet switching circuitry. The student's dissertation research to date has focused on numerical modeling. The proposed fabrication and experiment are intended to demonstrate a one-directional, 10-GHz optical buffer driven by submilliwatt holding beams. The tremendous increase in the capacity and performance of communication networks resulting from the use of optical transmission lines is expected to be matched by a similar evolution of network-node technologies. Work on this project will be towards that end. The project enables collaboration between complementary laboratories in the United States and Japan and provides international research experience for an American graduate student.***
