This award supports a new REU site in the Physics Department at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. The site intends to engage undergraduate students for ten weeks during the summer with exciting research that is centered on optics and laser physics, and to assist the professional development of the students. Optics and Laser Physics affects all areas of physics, many other sciences, and everyday lives. Ongoing research at UNL includes exploring the ultra-energetic, with laser energy densities currently exceeding that of the solar interior, and the ultrafast, with time resolution sufficient to "see" individual atoms move in a molecule. The Optics and Laser Physics program combines state of the art experimental research with powerful theoretical support. Technological applications include switching magnetic domains with ultrafast lasers to improve data storage and retrieval rates. The professional development program for students includes a seminar, attendance and contribution to a research seminar, visits to local optics-related industry, a job orientation, GRE preparation, and graduate school selection preparation.

该奖项支持内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校物理系的一个新的REU站点。该网站打算在夏季用十周的时间吸引本科生进行以光学和激光物理为中心的令人兴奋的研究，并帮助学生的专业发展。光学和激光物理影响物理学的所有领域，许多其他科学，和日常生活。UNL正在进行的研究包括探索超高能和超快，前者的激光能量密度目前超过了太阳内部的能量密度，后者的时间分辨率足以“看到”分子中单个原子的运动。光学和激光物理项目结合了最先进的实验研究和强大的理论支持。技术应用包括用超快激光开关磁畴，以提高数据存储和检索率。学生的专业发展计划包括研讨会，参加研究研讨会并作出贡献，参观当地光学相关行业，工作指导，GRE准备和研究生院选择准备。
