项目摘要

Recent developments in nanotechnology have opened new possibilities for the harvesting and emission of light, and transforming its energy to clean electrical power and chemical reactions. This project is aimed at better understanding the fundamental effects and new opportunities associated with emission and transfer of light energy in ensembles of molecules that are strongly coupled to specially designed nanoscale environments. Coupling of the molecules with the nanoscale environment is expected to provide for unprecedented control of light-matter interactions and improvement in the efficiency of light technologies. The project educational component aims at strengthening the graduate and undergraduate programs in STEM disciplines at two Historically Black Universities (HBCUs) Norfolk State University and Jackson State University via collaboration and student exchange. It is designed to enrich education and training of graduate and undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented minority groups by involving them in cutting-edge research in nanophotonics. Strong coupling of ensembles of quantum emitters (e.g. dye-doped polymers) with plasmonic structures can cause dramatic changes in the media's optical response and physical properties. The effect of the strong coupling on the spontaneous emission, Forster energy transfer, and material's nonlinearity, are of fundamental and practical importance and are the subject of unsettled debates. Potential applications of strongly coupled hybridized photonic materials can range from light harvesting and nanocircuitry operating at optical frequencies to pulse-shaping and directional emission sources. The proposed effort is aimed at (i) Transformative research of hybrid photonic materials, whose optical properties are modified by strong coupling of metallic (plasmonic) and dielectric components with optically active dopants; (ii) Development of new concepts and designs employing hybridized strongly coupled materials and components for new technologies; and (iii) Expanding the research capacity at minority institutions through enhancement of education and outreach programs. The knowledge gained in the proposed research program will be transferred to a broad community of scientists and engineers via publications, presentations and patents. It has a potential to transform, among others, organic photovoltaics, opto-electronic nanocircuitry and signal. Over a three-year span of the project, nearly a dozen graduate and undergraduate students will be impacted by the program, directly or indirectly. Based on the demographics of Norfolk State University and Jackson State University, more than 60% of undergraduate students will be from minority groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM disciplines and more than 50% of all students will be females. The research synergistic with education and outreach activities planned in this project would profoundly impact minority students at participating institutions and provide an example of a partnership between HBCUs in cutting-edge research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

纳米技术的最新发展为收获和排放光的新可能性开辟了新的可能性，并将其能量转化为清洁电力和化学反应。该项目的目的是更好地了解与特殊设计的纳米级环境中强烈耦合的分子集合中的光能和光能量转移相关的基本效果和新机会。分子与纳米级环境的耦合有望提供对光 - 物质相互作用的前所未有的控制和光技术效率的提高。该项目的教育部分旨在通过合作和学生交易所在两所历史悠久的黑人大学（HBCUS）诺福克州立大学和杰克逊州立大学的STEM学科中加强研究生和本科课程。它旨在通过使他们参与纳米光学研究的尖端研究来丰富来自传统代表性不足的少数群体的研究生和本科生的教育和培训。与等离子结构的量子发射器（例如染料掺杂聚合物）的集合的强耦合会导致培养基的光学响应和物理性质发生巨大变化。强耦合对自发发射，福斯特能量转移以及材料的非线性的影响具有基本和实际的重要性，并且是未安排的辩论的主题。强耦合杂交光子材料的潜在应用可以从光收集和以光频率运行的纳米回路到脉冲成形和方向发射源。提出的努力是针对（i）杂交光子材料的转化研究，其光学性质通过金属（等离子）（等离子）和介电成分与具有光学活性掺杂剂的强耦合来改变。（ii）开发新概念和设计，采用杂交材料和组件的新技术来开发；（iii）通过加强教育和外展计划来扩大少数群体机构的研究能力。拟议的研究计划中获得的知识将通过出版物，演示和专利转移到广泛的科学家和工程师社区。它有可能转化有机光伏，光电纳米回路和信号。在该项目的三年范围内，将近十几个毕业生和本科生将直接或间接受到该计划的影响。根据诺福克州立大学和杰克逊州立大学的人口统计，超过60％的本科生将来自少数群体中的STEM学科人数不足，而超过50％的学生将是女性。该项目计划在该项目中计划的教育和外展活动的研究将对参与机构的少数群体学生产生深远的影响，并提供了HBCUS在尖端研究中建立合作伙伴关系的例子。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
