Student Support for the 2009 Integrated Photonics and Nanophotonics Research and Applications Topical Meeting. To be held in Honolulu, HI from July 12-17, 2009.

该奖项支持学生参加2009年集成光子学和纳米光子学研究与应用（IPNRA）专题会议。这是OSA主办的第五届IPNRA专题会议。集成光子学和纳米光子学是会议的主题。知识价值：OSA组织了这次会议，以贡献论文，邀请演讲者演讲和出版物的形式。OSA邀请了来自全球科学界（欧洲、日本和美国）的演讲者来介绍主要的新发展。接受论文的选择符合严格的标准。会议将展示创新的科学和工程成果，并探索应用领域。会议计划和技术摘要将与研究细节一起出版。更广泛的影响：会议通过建立网络、一对一的研究讨论和接触最近的主要发展来促进学生教育。参加IPNRA专题会议的学生将有助于维持和培养一批在集成光子学和纳米光子学方面训练有素的工程师和科学家。

This award supports student participation in the 2009 Integrated Photonics and Nanophotonics Research and Applications (IPNRA) Topical Meeting. This is the fifth OSA sponsored IPNRA Topical Meeting. Integrated photonics and nanophotonics are the topics of the meeting. Intellectual Merit: OSA has organized the meeting to be in the form of contributed papers, presentations by invited speakers, and publications. OSA has invited speakers from the worldwide scientific community (Europe, Japan, and USA) to present major new developments. The selection of accepted papers meets rigorous standards. The meeting will feature innovative science and engineering results and explore areas of applications. A conference program and technical digest will be published with research details.Broader Impacts: The meeting promotes student education by creating an opportunity for networking, one-to-one research discussions, and exposure to recent major developments. Student participation at the IPNRA Topical Meeting will help to maintain and foster a pool of trained engineers and scientists in integrated photonics and nanophotonics.
