2001 Gordon Research Conference for Student Support for the Gordon Conference on Nonlinear Optics - Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire, July 29 - August 3, 2001

本提案要求为2001年在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶学院举行的戈登非线性光学和激光研究会议提供43500英镑的学生资助。2001年7月29日至8月3日。非线性光学和激光领域一直是并将继续是基础和应用研究的一个非常活跃和富有成果的领域。最近在激光冷却、飞秒化学和激光二极管方面的诺贝尔奖证明了它对科学的影响。近年电讯业的迅速发展，足以证明电讯业对本港经济和日常生活的影响。与往年一样。本次会议的目的是提供一个非正式论坛，介绍和讨论非线性光学，量子电子学和激光器及其在物理，化学和工程中的应用，无论是在工业还是在工业中。一种非正式的气氛，特别强调讨论和互动，目的是鼓励以专业协会定期会议所不可能的方式交换意见。学生尤其受益于这些机会。预计来自大学、工业和政府的大约100名科学家和学生将出席会议。参加会议的人数限制在135人以下。保持非正式的气氛，增加互动的水平。会议的估计总费用为30，000美元，建议由国家科学基金会（43，500美元）分摊，戈登会议提供的资金（19，000美元）。以及从其他来源筹集资金（7 500美元）。美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支持选定的研究生谁，因为他们自己的资金来源的限制，需要财政援助参加会议。大会不向发言者支付酬金。

This proposal requests a grant of 43.500 in student support of the 2001 Gordon Research Conference on Nonlinear Optics and Lasers to be held at the Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire. July 29 - August 3, 2001. The field of nonlinear optics and lasers has been and continues to be an extremely active and fruitful area of both basic and applied research. Recent Nobel Prizes in laser cooling, femtosecond chemistry, and laser diodes attest to its impact on science. The recent explosive growth of the telecommunications indusiry attest to its impact on our economy and also our daily lives. As in previous years. the purpose of this conference is to provide an informal forum for the presentation and discussion of new work on selected topics in nonlinear optics, quanium electronics and lasers, and their applications to physics, chemistry and engineering, both in academe and in industry. An informal atmosphere with a strong emphasis on discussion and interactions is intended to encourage the exchange of ideas in a manner not possible at regular meetings of professional societies. Students in particular benefit from these opportunities. A total attendance of approximately 100 scientists and students from universities, industry and government is anticipated. Participation at the conference is limited to under 135. to preserve the informal atmosphere and increase the level of interactions. It is proposed that the estimated total expense for the conference of $30,000 be shared by the National Science Foundation (43,500), the funds supplied by the Gordon Conference ($19,000). and funds to be solicited from other sources ($7,500). The National Science Foundation funds will be used to support selected graduate students who, because of limitations of their own sources of funding, require financial assistance to attend the conference. No honoraria will be paid to speakers at the conference.
