This award supports the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics hosted by the University of Michigan but is primarily conducted in laboratories in and around Paris, France. This international REU site, Optics in the City of Light, will bring eight undergraduates to Paris each summer to conduct research at three primary Parisian research institutions: the University of Paris-Sacley, Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale de Techniques Avancées. (ENSTA). The University of Paris-Saclay was recently created and has combined 14 universities including: the Institut d'Optique Graduate School, Université Paris-Sud 11 (Orsay), and Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan that have been long time participants in the program. Students will be additionally mentored by a faculty member at the Gérard Mourou Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (GM-CUOS) at Michigan. The students will spend one week in Ann Arbor, followed by two months in Paris. Each student will keep weekly on-line research diaries to aid in communication with each full group. A GM-CUOS faculty member or research scientist will accompany the students to Paris and stay for one week to ensure that the students get a good start. The students will be housed in a local hotel in Ann Arbor and at the Cité Universitaire in Paris. The research that will be conducted will be cutting edge programs at the French institutions and may even include some collaborative work with GM_CUOS and the new high power ultrafast laser Zeus, an NSF user facility at Michigan. The research in all projects will all involve the use of optics with a focus on ultrafast lasers to discover very current, state-of-the art phenomena in a wide range of fields including relativistic optics, plasma physics, materials spectroscopy, nano-machining, patterned biological cell templating, nano-photonics, high power fiber lasers, plasma x-ray sources, dynamics of nano-magnetic materials, terahertz imaging, biomedical imaging with shaped pulses, and the fatigue life studies of materials, as well as other topics.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.

该奖项支持由密歇根大学主办的本科生物理研究体验(REU)网站，但主要在法国巴黎及其周边的实验室进行。这个国际REU网站，光之城的光学，每年夏天将有八名本科生来到巴黎，在巴黎萨克利大学、巴黎理工学院和法国国家技术学院这三个巴黎主要研究机构进行研究。(ENSTA)。巴黎萨克莱大学是最近成立的，已经合并了14所大学，包括：巴黎高等研究院、巴黎-南11大学(奥赛)和卡尚学院，这些大学都是该计划的长期参与者。学生还将得到密歇根Gérard Mourou超快光学科学中心(GM-CUOS)的一名教员的指导。学生们将在安娜堡呆一周，然后在巴黎呆两个月。每名学生将保持每周在线研究日记，以帮助与每个完整的小组进行交流。一名GM-CUOS教职员工或研究科学家将陪同学生前往巴黎，并停留一周，以确保学生有一个良好的开端。这些学生将住在安娜堡的一家当地酒店和巴黎的城市大学。即将进行的研究将是法国机构的尖端项目，甚至可能包括与GM_CUOS和新型高功率超快激光器Zeus的一些合作工作，Zeus是NSF在密歇根的用户设施。所有项目的研究都将涉及光学的使用，重点是超快激光，以发现广泛领域的最新、最先进的现象，包括相对论光学、等离子体物理、材料光谱、纳米加工、图案化生物细胞模板、纳米光子学、高功率光纤激光器、等离子体x射线源、纳米磁性材料的动力学、太赫兹成像、成形脉冲生物医学成像、材料疲劳寿命研究以及其他主题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
