ECCS-1041156Dennis Chamot, National AcademiesHarnessing Light: Capitalizing on Optical Science Trends & Challenges for Future ResearchThe National Academy of Sciences will conduct an 18-month study Harnessing Light: Capitalizing on Optical Science Trends and Challenges for Future Research. The study will be conducted by the Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design in collaboration with the Board on Science, Technology and Economic Policy. The National Research Council will appoint a committee to review the developments in optical science and technology since the 1998 Harnessing Light report and make recommendations for ways in which to capitalize on these advances.Intellectual Merit: This activity would build on the work done in 1998 and address the role photonics plays in national competitiveness and innovation. The new study would identify national strengths and weaknesses in relation to current and future needs including economic impact, workforce needs, and future research directions, and would consider the technology areas where optics is an enabler that can dramatically impact the economy of the country.Broader Impacts: Optical science and engineering is headed toward another strong growth period, driven by developments in advanced materials, solid-state lighting, solar technologies, sensors, lasers, imaging, fiber-optic communications, digital photography, diagnostic medicine, computing/processing, and consumer displays/TVs. The impacted markets encompass critical issues that affect society, ranging from energy, data storage, and healthcare to manufacturing, communications, and security.

ECCS-1041156 Dennis Chamot，国家科学院利用光：利用光学科学趋势对未来研究的挑战国家科学院将进行一项为期18个月的研究利用光：利用光学科学趋势和未来研究的挑战。这项研究将由制造和工程设计委员会与科学、技术和经济政策委员会合作进行。国家研究理事会将任命一个委员会审查自1998年利用光报告以来光学科学和技术的发展，并就如何利用这些进步提出建议。智力优点：这项活动将建立在1998年所做的工作基础上，并解决光子学在国家竞争力和创新中所起的作用。这项新研究将确定国家在当前和未来需求（包括经济影响、劳动力需求和未来研究方向）方面的优势和劣势，并将考虑光学技术能够极大地影响国家经济的技术领域。更广泛的影响：光学科学与工程正走向另一个强劲增长期，这是由先进材料、固态照明、太阳能技术、传感器、激光、成像、光纤通信、数字摄影、诊断医学、计算/处理和消费显示器/电视。受影响的市场包括影响社会的关键问题，从能源，数据存储和医疗保健到制造，通信和安全。
