Conference: "Future Prospects and Applications for UV and VUV Lasers"

该奖项支持一个名为“紫外光和真空紫外光激光器的未来前景”的会议。这次会议由工程基金会主办，将于1990年2月25日至3月2日在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉举行。这是1987年2月举行的第二次会议，也是第一次会议。第二次会议的目的是确定紫外光和真空紫外光的激光开发工作应该指向哪里；确定基本的光化学、光谱动力学问题；并根据VUV光源的最新进展重新审查工商业努力和研究需要。这将通过召集该领域约100名领先的研究人员，并穿插介绍VUV和UV激光器的当前和潜在应用的概述演讲和受邀的论文来实现，这些论文强调了激光开发中的关键问题。NSF特别寻求支持，以使年轻研究人员能够出席，他们的研究计划尚未建立到能够负担这次会议的地步。

This award supports a conference entitled "Future Prospects for UV and VUV Laser." This conference is being sponsored by the Engineering Foundation and will be held February 25-March 2, 1990, in Santa Barbara, California. This is the second conference of this title, the first, held in February 1987. The purpose of this second conference is to ascertain where laser development efforts in the UV and VUV should be directed; to identify fundamental photochemical, spectroscopic kinetic issues; and to reexamine industrial and commercial efforts and research needs in light of recent progress in VUV source. This will be accomplished by assembling approximately 100 of the leading researchers in the area, and interspersing overview talks of current and potential applications of VUV and UV lasers with invited papers highlighting crucial issues in laser development. Support from NSF is sought specifically to enable the attendance of young investigators whose research program has not yet been built to the point of affording this conference.
