The requested equipment will be used to support the NSERC Discovery programs of Professors M. Rochette and L. Chen at McGill University, Y. A. Peter at école Polytechnique, and Y. Messaddeq at Laval University. The equipment consists of a unique optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) operating in the wavelength range of 1.5-3.4 um in the mid-infrared. This OSA has only recently become commercially available, with unprecedented features of broad spectral bandwidth, long-wavelength reach, ultrahigh sensitivity and high spectral resolution. The mid-infrared OSA is readily required as the team has covered the theoretical background and possess the complementary equipment to perform original and high level experiments on mid-infrared optical sources (M. Rochette), dual-band fiber lasers (L. Chen), specialty fiber characterization (Y. Messaddeq), and micro-resonators characterization (Y. A. Peter). Training HQP in the quickly evolving field of mid-infrared photonics is of prime importance and the use of this unique OSA will bring an entirely new range of skillsets. As a group, we expect in a short term that the mid-infrared OSA will impact the research of 14 graduate students (6 in M. Rochette’s group, 4 in L. Chen’s group, 2 in Y.A. Peter’s group, and 2 in Y. Messaddeq’s group). In the next 5 years, we expect that in itself, this successful grant application will contribute to the training of more than 20 graduate students in addition to expanding our expertise in mid-infrared photonics and thus gain momentum in this research area.

所要求的设备将用于支持M教授的NSERC发现计划。罗切特和L.麦吉尔University，Y. A.彼得在巴黎综合理工学院，和Y。拉瓦尔大学的Messaddeq。该设备由一个独特的光谱分析仪（OSA）组成，在中红外1.5-3.4微米的波长范围内工作。这种OSA最近才商业化，具有前所未有的宽光谱带宽，长波长范围，高灵敏度和高光谱分辨率的特点。中红外OSA是很容易需要的，因为该团队已经涵盖了理论背景，并拥有补充设备，以执行原始和高水平的实验中红外光源（M。Rochette）、双波段光纤激光器（L. Chen）、特种纤维表征（Y. Messaddeq）和微谐振器表征（Y. A. Peter）。在快速发展的中红外光子学领域培训HQP至关重要，使用这种独特的OSA将带来一系列全新的技能。作为一个群体，我们预计在短期内，中红外OSA将影响14名研究生的研究（6名在M。Rochette组，4例在L.陈的小组，2个在Y.A. Peter组，2例在Y. Messaddeq的小组）。在接下来的5年里，我们预计这一成功的拨款申请本身将有助于培养20多名研究生，同时扩大我们在中红外光子学方面的专业知识，从而在这一研究领域获得动力。
