9871977 Xiao University-Industry Partnership for Enabling Advances in Telecommunications Abstract: The research competitiveness of University of Arkansas faculty and students in photonics-electronics will be enhanced by formally establishing both a research and education partnership with Lucent Technologies, the leader in the industry. The partnership will address one of the most pressing problems facing telecommunications today - the low transmission data rates of present, long-haul, fiber optics links. The Arkansas-Lucent team, working side-by- side, will focus on developing key optical elements, such as light sources, fast optical switches, multiplexer/demultiplexer, filters, and add/drop loops, for wavelength division multiplexing. Six faculty members at the University of Arkansas will spend blocks of time at Lucent Technologies on research during summers and semester breaks and shorter visits throughout the year as needed. Likewise, four scientists at Lucent will spend blocks of time at the University of Arkansas on research efforts and in contributing to the formal education of students as adjunct professors, via classroom lectures and seminars. Post-doctoral appointees and graduate students will spend approximately half their time at each laboratory working on only one project but taking advantage of the different skills, point-of-view, and facilities available at each laboratory. The Arkansas-Lucent partnership will provide faculty and students with the opportunity to: (1) work on significant industrial R&D problems; (2) develop new technical skills important to telecommunications, many of which are unique at Lucent; and (3) participate in a new paradigm in graduate training leading to broader career opportunities.

9871977 Xiao University-Industry Partnership for Enabling Advances in Telecommunications 摘要：阿肯色州的教师和学生在光电子学的研究竞争力将通过与朗讯技术，在该行业的领导者正式建立研究和教育合作伙伴关系得到加强。该合作伙伴关系将解决当今电信面临的最紧迫的问题之一-目前，长途光纤链路的低传输数据速率。阿肯色-朗讯团队将并肩工作，专注于开发用于波分复用的关键光学元件，如光源、快速光开关、复用器/解复用器、滤波器和分插环路。阿肯色州大学的六名教职员工将在夏季和学期休息期间在朗讯科技公司进行研究，并根据需要在全年进行短期访问。同样，朗讯的四位科学家将在阿肯色州大学花大量时间进行研究工作，并通过课堂讲座和研讨会，作为兼职教授为学生的正规教育做出贡献。博士后和研究生将花费大约一半的时间在每个实验室只在一个项目上工作，但利用不同的技能，观点和设施在每个实验室。阿肯色州-朗讯公司的合作伙伴关系将为教师和学生提供机会：（1）研究重大的工业&研发问题;（2）发展对电信很重要的新技术技能，其中许多技能在朗讯是独一无二的;（3）参与研究生培训的新模式，从而获得更广泛的职业机会。
