Support for NSF Workshop for CAREER Awardees in Photonics. To Be Held in San Jose, CA., June 8-13, 2014.

该项目将为NSF光子学职业获奖者参加2014年6月13日在加利福尼亚州圣何塞举行的研讨会提供资金支持。研讨会的目标是将许多最近获得ECCS部门支持的职业奖获得者聚集在一起，讨论他们在光子学方面的进展，并促进他们的研究事业的发展。研讨会将与2014年6月8日至13日在加利福尼亚州圣何塞举行的激光和光电会议(CLEO)2014年会议同时举行。Cleo是科学和技术光学的主要国际论坛，通过汇集从基础研究到工业应用的激光技术的方方面面，将激光和光电子领域团结在一起。研讨会的主要目标是帮助NSF光子学职业奖获得者改善他们作为初级教员的经验，这些教员正在建立他们的学术生涯。在研讨会上，最近的NSF职业奖获得者将介绍他们在光子学方面的研究活动。技术讨论将跨越光子学研究的广泛领域，从材料到器件，包括集成光子学、非线性光学、微结构和特种光纤、光学传感器、光学操纵器、超材料和中红外光子学。会议将促进公开的技术交流，以建立新的合作关系，确定未来的研究战略和基础设施需求，以及寻求更大获奖机会的机会，包括NSF工程研究中心。此外，研讨会预计将为NSF职业奖获得者提供一个特殊的场所，让他们与学术界和工业界的领导人进行互动。

The project will provide financial support for NSF CAREER Awardees in Photonics to participate in a workshop to be held in San Jose, CA on June 13, 2014. The goal of the workshop is to bring together many recent CAREER Award winners supported by the ECCS division to discuss their progress in photonics and to promote development of their research careers. The workshop will be co-located with the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) 2014 meeting being held in San Jose, CA during June 8-13, 2014. CLEO serves as the premier international forum for scientific and technical optics, uniting the fields of lasers and opto-electronics by bringing together all aspects of laser technology, from basic research to industry applications. The main objective goal of the Workshop is to assist NSF CAREER Awardees in photonics to improve their experience as junior faculty members who are establishing their academic careers. At the Workshop, recent NSF CAREER Awardees will present their research activities in photonics. Technical discussions will span a broad range of areas of photonics research, from materials to devices, including integrated photonics, non-linear optics, microstructure and specialty fibers, optical sensors, optical manipulators, metamaterials, and Mid IR photonics. The meeting will facilitate an open technical exchange to establish new collaborations, determine future research strategies and infrastructure needs as well as opportunities to pursue larger award opportunities, including NSF Engineering Research Centers. In addition, the workshop is expected to provide a special venue for NSF CAREER Awardees to interact with leaders from both academia and industry.
