Modern Optics in the City of Light, a Collaborative REU Site in Paris

该奖项支持在密歇根大学超快光学科学中心（CUOS）主持的一个新的国际REU站点，并在巴黎综合理工学院、法国国立先进技术学院（ENSTA）和法国Palaiseau的光学研究所提供研究机会。这些学生将被分成研究小组，小组成员包括两名学生、一名澳门大学的教员和一名巴黎大学的教员。学生们将在安娜堡度过一周，然后在巴黎度过九周。每个学生将保留每周的在线研究日记，以便在每周的视频电话会议上与每个小组进行讨论。为了确保学生们有一个良好的开端，中国科学院的一名研究科学家将陪同学生们去巴黎，并在那里呆上两周。这些学生将被安置在安娜堡的当地宿舍和巴黎城市大学。所有项目的研究都将涉及使用超快激光器在广泛的领域发现非常当前的，最先进的现象，包括；相对论光学、等离子体物理、材料光谱学、纳米加工、艺术修复与保护、图像化生物细胞模板、高功率光纤激光器、等离子体x射线源、纳米磁性材料动力学、太赫兹成像、形状脉冲生物医学成像、材料疲劳寿命研究等。该奖项由物理部和国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

This award supports a new international REU site hosted at the University of Michigan's Center for Ultrafast Optical Sciences (CUOS) with research opportunities at Ecole Polytechnique, Ecole Nationale de Techniques Avancées (ENSTA), and the Institut d'Optique in Palaiseau, France. The students will be put into research teams that include 2 students, a faculty member at UM and a faculty member in one of the Parisian institutions. The students will spend one week in Ann Arbor, followed by 9 weeks in Paris. Each student will keep weekly on-line research diaries for discussion in weekly video teleconferences with each full group. A CUOS research scientist will accompany the students to Paris and stay for two weeks to ensure that the students get a good start. The students will be housed in a local dormitory in Ann Arbor and at the Cité Universitaire in Paris. The research in all projects will all involve the use of ultrafast lasers to discover very current, state-of-the art phenomena in a wide range of fields including; relativistic optics, plasma physics, materials spectroscopy, nanomachining, art restoration and conservation, patterned biological cell templating, high power fiber lasers, plasma x-ray sources, dynamics of nano-magnetic materials, terahertz imaging, biomedical imaging with shaped pulses, fatigue life studies of materials, etc. This award is co-funded by the Physics Division and the Office of International Science and Engineering.
