U. S.-Taiwan Cooperative Research: Long-Wavelength Traveling-Wave Photodetectors

9813411 Bowers这是一个为期36个月的奖项，由加州大学的John Bowers博士与国立台湾大学的孙继光博士共同发起。 鲍尔斯博士要求提供旅费和用品，以便与台大的同行合作进行一项项目。 本计画的目标为：（1）设计并制作高频宽通讯波长的行波光侦测器;（2）建立一个可应用于通讯系统的高频宽电光取样装置;（3）研究此超高速光侦测器的输运动力学、饱和非线性及分布行波效应。 研究人员在这个领域非常受人尊敬。 这一建议条理清晰，技术性强。 这是一个前沿性的项目，其成果可能为长距离通信系统提供突破，并可能对高速通信产生深远的影响。 它也提供了一个很好的机会，培训研究生学习如何开发和测试这样的超高速光电探测器。

9813411BowersThis is a 36-month award proposed by Dr. John Bowers, University of California, collaborating with Dr. Chi-Kuang Sun, National Taiwan University. Dr. Bowers requests funds for travel and supplies to carry out a cooperative project with his counterpart at the National Taiwan University. The objectives of the proposed project are (1) to design and fabricate high-bandwidth communication wavelength traveling-wave photo-detectors, (2) to set up a high-bandwidth Electro-optic sampling device operating in communication system, and (3) to investigate transport dynamics, saturation non-linearities, and distributed traveling-wave effects in this ultra-high-speed photo-detector. The researchers are highly respected in this field. This proposal is well organized and has strong technical merits. This is a cutting edging project, and the result of this project may provide a breakthrough for long-haul-type communication systems and could have far reaching impacts in high speed communication. It also provides an excellent opportunity for training a graduate student to learn how to develop and test such ultra-high-speed photo-detectors.
