Acquisition of Equipment for a Multipurpose Fiber Optic System

0076473 ToulouseDMR材料研究计划仪器的这一奖项将使Leghigh大学获得一个多用途的高功率光纤系统，该系统可以在CW或脉冲模式下工作，并能够产生皮秒或飞秒脉冲。该系统将大大提高目前的研究能力，并扩大最近获得的GOALI研究赠款的影响。利哈伊设施将扩大和发展，以经营一个全面的，国家的最先进的光纤实验室。该实验室将服务于：（1）揭示玻璃显微镜与光学非线性之间的关系，并提供基础玻璃研究与光纤光学之间的必要联系;（2）培养光子学博士水平的研究生（3）作为大学和工业之间的纽带;（4）作为利哈伊集成光学和光通信材料实验研究的一个极点。DMR材料研究计划仪器的这一奖项将使利哈伊大学获得一个多用途的高功率光纤系统，该系统可以在CW或脉冲模式下运行，并能够产生皮秒或飞秒脉冲。该系统将大大提高目前的研究能力，扩大全球目标研究赠款的影响。

0076473ToulouseThis award from the instrumentation for materials research program in DMR will allow Leghigh University to acquire a multipurpose high-power fiber optic system, which can be operated in the CW or pulsed mode and capable of producing picosecond or femtosecond pulses. The system will significantly enhance present research capabilities and broaden the impact of a recently acquired GOALI research grant. The Lehigh facility will be expanded and developed to op a full-scale, state-of-the-art Fiber Optics Laboratory. This laboratory will serve: (1) to uncover the relationship between the glass microscopics and optical nonlinearities and provide a the necessary link between fundamental glass research and fiber optics; (2) to train PhD level graduate students in photonics (these are in very short supply at the present) who understand optics as well as materials; (3) as a link between the university and industry; (4) as a pole for experimental studies in materials for integrated optics and optical communications at Lehigh.
