Workshop: Support to Speakers to Attend IEEE Photonics Society Topical Conference on Non-reciprocal Photonic Devices, Hawaii, July 8-10, 2013

目的：为受邀演讲者提供财政支持，以参加将于2013年7月8日至10日在夏威夷举行的IEEE光子学会非互易光子器件专题会议。智力优势：本次会议将汇集专家讨论研究机会，并解决与非互易光子器件相关的挑战。非互易光学器件，包括隔离器和环行器，在光通信网络中是重要的，以防止不利的后向反射、干扰和反馈。这次会议将审查现有不同方法的优缺点，包括磁性和非磁性概念。来自学术界、国家实验室、工业界和政府实验室的成员将被邀请参加研讨会。这些领域的研究是相当大的兴趣，许多目前的计划ECCS司。更广泛的影响：该会议旨在汇集来自学术界，政府和工业界的国际研究人员，以评估非互易光子器件的当前最新技术水平。不同的方法，包括磁性和非磁性的概念，在光子系统中的非互易性的优点和缺点将得到解决。初级教师和代表性不足的群体成员在科学和工程的参与将促进基于NSF的资金，以部分支付注册和差旅费。此外，讲习班将为今后的研究确定广泛的方向，并将影响跨学科的科学努力。

Objective: To provide financial support for invited speakers to attend the IEEE Photonics Society Topical Conference on Non-reciprocal Photonic Devices, to be held in Hawaii from July 8-10, 2013. Intellectual Merit: This meeting will bring together experts to discuss research opportunities and to address the challenges associated with non-reciprocal photonic devices. Non-reciprocal optical devices, including isolators and circulators, are important in optical communication networks to prevent adverse backward reflection, interference and feedback. The advantages and disadvantages of different existing approaches, including both magnetic and non-magnetic concepts, will be reviewed at this meeting. Members from academia, national labs, industry, and government labs will be invited to workshop. These areas of research are of considerable interest to many current programs of the ECCS division. Broader Impact: The meeting aims to bring together international researchers from academia, government and industry to assess the current state-of-the-art of non-reciprocal photonic devices. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, including magnetic and non-magnetic concepts, for non-reciprocity in photonic systems will be addressed. Participation of junior faculty and members of underrepresented groups in science and engineering will be fostered based on NSF funds to partially cover registration and travel expenses. In addition, the workshop will set broad directions for future research and will impact interdisciplinary scientific efforts.
