Research Experiences for Undergraduates: Optical Materials and Lasers

俄克拉荷马州立大学物理系将为光学材料和激光领域的本科生提供研究经验。目前，这一领域的科学家数量不足以满足工业、大学和国家实验室的人员需求。正因为如此，我们有可能在这个重要的经济领域失去领导地位。这个本科生研究经验项目通过将优秀的年轻科学家引入他们职业生涯的形成阶段来解决这个问题。所研究的材料包括在光学系统中具有当前或潜在应用的激光宿主电光、光折变和胶体材料。

The Department of Physics at Oklahoma State University will provide Research Experiences for Undergraduates in the area of optical materials and lasers. At the present time an insufficient number of scientists are in this field to meet staffing needs of industry, universities and national laboratories. Because of this we are at risk of losing our leadership in this economically important area. This Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program addresses this problem by introducing outstanding young scientists to this field at a formative stage in their careers. The materials investigated include laser-host electro-optic, photorefractive and colloidal materials with present or potential applications in optical systems.
