Fiber Optic Communications and Ultrabroadband Systems (FOCUS): UNM's Connection One IUCRC Center

新墨西哥大学提议加入亚利桑那州立大学（牵头机构）、亚利桑那大学、伦斯勒理工学院、俄亥俄州立大学和夏威夷大学现有的通信电路和系统中心产学研合作研究中心（Connection One）。拟议的研究场址将增加中心的研究能力和活动，重点放在光纤和无线（超宽带）通信和系统上。拟议研究基地的一些主要目标包括与行业伙伴合作，确定一套明确定义的初步研究项目，向潜在的行业伙伴推销前瞻性的研究和发展愿景，以及建立一支由核心行业成员组成的团队，致力于建立拟议的研究基地。该中心将为包括空军研究实验室、桑迪亚国家实验室、Encore、Gridline等公司在内的广泛公司开展重要的研究项目。在拟议的场地活动将涉及教师研究人员，研究生和本科生与工业代表一起工作。拟议的研究地点还将增加代表性不足的群体和少数民族学生参与与工业有关的研究活动。

The University of New Mexico is proposing to join the Arizona State University (lead institution), University of Arizona, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Ohio State University and the University of Hawaii existing Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Communications Circuits and Systems Center (Connection One). The proposed research site would increase the research capabilities and activities of the Center by focusing on fiber-optics and wireless (ultra-wideband) communications and systems. Some key objectives of the proposed research site include defining an initial set of well-defined research projects in collaboration with the industry partners, to market a forward-looking research and development vision to potential industry partners, and to build a team of core industry members committed to establishing the proposed site. The proposed center will pursue research projects of importance to a broad range of companies including Air Force Research Lab, Sandia National Lab, Encore, Gridline and others. The activities at the proposed site will involve faculty researchers, graduate and undergraduate students working together with industrial representatives. The proposed research site will also have increased participation of under-represented groups and minority students in industrially-relevant research activities.
