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

围绕控制光流的进步，提出了一个多机构和国际(加拿大-德国)培训计划。三家合作的加拿大机构(UofToronto，INRS，ULaval)正在与弗里德里希·席勒大学耶拿分校(FSU)和弗劳恩霍夫应用光学与精密工程研究所(IOF)的德国研究所合作。这些加拿大机构代表着加拿大领先的光学研究和培训中心，这些中心反过来又支持加拿大新兴的光学工业和服务业。德国的机构确定了德国光学教育、培训和工业的中心中心，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。Rational培训旨在将博士生从自然地由单个实验室内有限的资源和专业知识形成的研究“孤岛”中拉出来，并实现更有影响力的研究目标，从而能够利用我们的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。我们的CREATE理念是通过与加拿大大大小小的行业和政府合作伙伴的互动，通过对当前行业实践的强烈曝光来推动这项研究，并参与以市场为导向的研究活动。与我们的德国合作伙伴的关键战略是让加拿大的实习生在世界领先的光学教育和制造场所耶拿--光之城--的早期学习。学员将参加广受好评的弗劳恩霍夫技术创新(IOF)模式，并从事德国行业实习。该项目将使学员获得更广泛的研究体验，研究工具和资源似乎是无限的，可以在具有非凡光学广度的世界领先专家中测试和塑造想法。这条途径确保学员不仅将成为未来光学研究的世界领先者，还将为新光学设备、先进制造工艺和更多功能产品的创造力、创新、技术转让和商业化塑造，这些产品有望惠及加拿大制造、通信、医疗和安全部门的多个方面。

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.
