Guided Light, Tightly Packed: novel concepts, components and applications

一个多机构和国际（加拿大-德国）培训计划围绕控制光流的进展提出。三个合作的加拿大机构（多伦多大学，INRS, ULaval）正在与德国的弗里德里希席勒大学耶拿（FSU）和弗劳恩霍夫应用光学和精密工程研究所（IOF）合作。加拿大的机构代表了加拿大领先的光学研究培训中心，这些中心反过来又支持了加拿大新兴的光学工业和服务部门。德国机构定义了德国光学教育，培训和工业的中心枢纽，为我们的学员打开了将前沿科学与制造创新联系起来的大门。培训理性旨在将博士生从研究“筒仓”中提升出来，这些研究“筒仓”自然是由单个实验室中有限的资源和专业知识形成的，并能够利用我们多机构团队提供的更全面的研究专业知识、先进工具和资源，实现更高影响的研究目标。我们的CREATE理念是通过与加拿大小型和大型工业和政府合作伙伴的互动，通过当前行业实践和参与市场驱动的研究活动来推动这一研究。我们与德国合作伙伴的关键战略是让加拿大学员在世界领先的光学教育和制造场所——耶拿——光之城——早期学习。学员将参加备受赞誉的弗劳恩霍夫技术创新模型（IOF），并从事德国工业实习。该项目将使学员获得更广泛的研究经验，在那里，研究工具和资源将出现无限的，在那里，想法可以在世界领先的光学专家中进行测试和塑造。该途径确保学员不仅将成为未来光学研究领域的世界领导者，而且还将成为新光学设备、先进制造工艺和更多功能产品的创造力、创新、技术转让和商业化的塑造者，这些产品将为加拿大制造、通信、卫生和安全部门的多个方面带来有希望的好处。

A multi-institutional and international (Canada-German) training program is proposed around advances in controlling the flow of light. Three collaborating Canadian Institutions (UofToronto, INRS, ULaval) are partnering with the German institutes of Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU) and Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF). The Canadian institutions represent the leading optical research-training centres in Canada, which in turn support a fledging Canadian industry and service sector in optics. The German institutions define the central hub for optics education, training and industry in Germany, opening doors for our trainees to connect forefront science with manufacturing innovation. The training rational seeks to lift PhD students out of research 'silos' that naturally are shaped by the limited resources and expertise found within individual labs, and enable higher impact research objectives that can harness the fuller spectrum of research expertise, advanced tools, and resources provided by our multi-institutional team. Our CREATE philosophy is to drive this research with strong expose to current industry practices, and participation in market-driven research activities through interaction with small and large Canadian industry and government partners. The key strategy with our German collaborators is to engage Canadian trainees early in their studies inside a world-leading place for optics education and manufacturing - Jena - The City of Lights. Trainees will participate in the highly acclaimed Fraunhofer model for technological innovation (IOF) and engage in German industry internships. The program will expose trainees to a much broader research experience, where research tools and resources will appear unlimited, where ideas can be tested and shaped amongst world leading experts with exceptional breadth in optics. The pathway ensures trainees will not only become future world leaders in optical research, but also be molded for creativity, innovation, technology transfer and commercialization of new optical devices, advanced manufacturing processes, and more functional products with promising benefits to multiple facets of Canada's manufacturing, communication, health and security sectors.
