This proposal requests funding from the National Science Foundation to support the International Quantum Cascade Laser School and Workshop (IQCLSW), which is to be held in Policoro (Matera) Italy from September 7-12 2014. The IQCLSW workshop serves as a think-tank where the top researchers will report on recent developments in the field of quantum-cascade (QCL) lasers, and brainstorm on promising new directions ranging from questions of basic device physics to applications. New strategic directions are expected to emerge and help define a roadmap for future development of QCL technology. An important component is the 2-day school portion, in which hour-long tutorial presentations are aimed at graduate students to rapidly acquaint them with the fundamentals of this rapidly moving field. Applications, such as high-resolution spectroscopy, chemical sensing for a variety of diagnostic uses, coherent detection, imaging, and infrared countermeasures will be discussed.Topics to be covered at IQCLSW include quantum cascade laser device design, modeling, characterization and testing, as well as the basics of QCL transport and optical confinement.. This workshop will address both the fundamental physics aspect of these devices as well as new developments. The 3-day workshop session will have approximately 30-35 invited and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions. There will be 3 keynote speakers given by figures who have played a major role in QC-laser development over a sustained time period. An important facet of this is the international scientific participation and dissemination of information, which may lead to new collaborations and advances in the state of the art. This workshop will have a significant focus on applications and will engage the nascent QCL industry. The school portion is directly aimed at the training and education of graduate-student researchers. The IQCLSW websites will archive the workshop presentations for general access. Specifically, the NSF funding will help reduce the registration fees for students, and will provide travel support for US attendees (with priority towards student presenters).

该提案要求国家科学基金会提供资金，以支持国际量子级联激光学校和研讨会（IQCLSW），该研讨会将于2014年9月7日至12日在意大利的波利科罗举行。IQCLSW研讨会作为一个智囊团，顶级研究人员将报告量子级联（QCL）激光器领域的最新发展，并就从基本器件物理问题到应用的有前途的新方向进行头脑风暴。预计将出现新的战略方向，并帮助定义QCL技术未来发展的路线图。一个重要的组成部分是为期2天的学校部分，其中长达一小时的教程演示是针对研究生，以迅速熟悉他们与这个快速移动的领域的基础。IQCLSW将讨论应用，如高分辨率光谱学，用于各种诊断用途的化学传感，相干检测，成像和红外对抗。IQCLSW将涵盖的主题包括量子级联激光器件设计，建模，表征和测试，以及QCL传输和光学约束的基础知识。本次研讨会将讨论这些设备的基本物理方面以及新的发展。为期3天的研讨会将有大约30-35个邀请和贡献的演讲，以及海报会议。将有3位主题演讲者，他们在一段持续的时间内在QC激光发展中发挥了重要作用。其中一个重要方面是国际科学参与和信息传播，这可能会导致新的合作和最先进的进步。本次研讨会将重点关注应用，并将参与新生的QCL行业。学校部分直接针对研究生研究人员的培训和教育。IQCLSW网站将对研讨会的演示文稿进行存档，供公众访问。具体来说，NSF的资金将有助于降低学生的注册费，并将为美国与会者提供旅行支持（优先考虑学生演讲者）。
