PROPOSAL NO: AST-0739540PI: Donald T. Gavel, University of California, Lick ObservatoryNSF/DFG Joint Astrophysics Research Conference on Advanced Photonics in Application to Astrophysical Problems, June 2007, Washington, DC The proposal is to fund an international workshop on ''Advanced Photonics in Application to Astrophysical Problems.'' This would be the third workshop in a series jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Deutshe Forshungsgemeinschaft (DFG). As in the previous workshops in this series, 70 researchers, 35 from the US and 35 from Germany would be invited to participate in a two-day conference. The researchers will be selected based on their current activities in advanced photonics as applied to Galactic center astronomy/astrophysics, to solar adaptive optics, and to gravitational wave detection. The costs requested in the proposal are principally for US participant travel expenses.Advanced photonics in this context refers to adaptive optics, laser technology, and interferometry. These fields are currently in rapid evolution with little or modest interaction between US and German researchers depending on the field. For example, there are vigorous programs on adaptive optics for application to very large telescopes in the US (the Thirty Meter Telescope project, the National Solar Observatory) and in Germany (ESOs 42-meter telescope project). These programs have worked independently, and to some extent competitively. This conference would bring the researchers together with the intent to foster future collaborations and with at least the result that future proposals to the NSF and DFG would be more informed of the work done elsewhere in the world. Similar comments can be made about interferometry. There are strong programs in the US (Keck Interferometer, Large Binocular Telescope interferometer) and in Germany (ESOs Very Large Telescope Interferometer). Historically these researchers largely work independently; a conference encouraging their interaction will improve the research in both communities and is quite timely.With regard to broader impacts, the intent of the workshop is to foster collaboration among US and German researchers. Moreover, researchers in gravitational wave detection, interferometry, laser technology, solar physics, and adaptive optics will all attend the same meeting. The opportunity for cross-fertilization is very high.This proposal is funded by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, the Division of Astronomical Sciences, and the Division of Physics.

提案编号：AST-0739540 PI：Donald T. Gavel，加州大学，Lick天文台NSF/DFG联合天体物理学研究会议，关于应用于天体物理问题的先进光子学，2007年6月，华盛顿，DC该提案是资助一个关于“应用于天体物理问题的先进光子学”的国际研讨会。这将是由美国国家科学基金会和德国研究共同体（DFG）联合主办的系列研讨会中的第三次。与本系列的前几次研讨会一样，70名研究人员（35名来自美国，35名来自德国）将应邀参加为期两天的会议。研究人员将根据他们目前在先进光子学方面的活动进行选择，这些光子学应用于银河系中心天文学/天体物理学，太阳自适应光学和引力波探测。建议书中所要求的费用主要是美国与会者的旅费。在此背景下，先进光子学是指自适应光学、激光技术和干涉测量法。这些领域目前正在快速发展，美国和德国研究人员之间的互动很少或适度。例如，在美国（30米望远镜项目，国家太阳观测站）和德国（欧洲南方天文台42米望远镜项目），有一些关于应用于超大型望远镜的自适应光学的有力计划。这些项目独立运作，在某种程度上具有竞争力。这次会议将把研究人员聚集在一起，目的是促进未来的合作，至少是为了使未来提交给NSF和DFG的提案能够更多地了解世界其他地方所做的工作。对于干涉测量法也可以作类似的评论。在美国（凯克干涉仪，大型双筒望远镜干涉仪）和德国（ESO甚大望远镜干涉仪）有强大的计划。从历史上看，这些研究人员基本上是独立工作的;一个鼓励他们互动的会议将改善两个社区的研究，这是非常及时的。关于更广泛的影响，研讨会的目的是促进美国和德国研究人员之间的合作。此外，引力波探测、干涉测量、激光技术、太阳物理和自适应光学的研究人员都将参加同一次会议。这项建议由多学科活动办公室、天文科学部和物理部资助。
