Conference: International Conference on Organic Nonlinear Optics II in Kusatsu, Gunma, Japan, July 23-26, 1995

本提案为1995年7月23日至26日在日本群马市草津召开的有机非线性光学国际会议寻求部分经费。为支持美国特邀演讲者和博士生，要求提供旅费。会议的目的是汇集顶级研究人员-他们的专业知识跨越材料设计，材料表征，器件制造和集成器件架构-到一个小镇的亲密环境中讨论和评估该领域的进展。这次即将召开的会议是由1992年夏天在华盛顿普尔曼和1994年冬天在法国Val Thorens举行的两次NSF支持的会议（ICONO'1）推动的。这次提议的会议将是我们计划每18个月举行一次的系列会议中的第三次会议。ICONO'1的满员出席证明了对这样一次会议的需求。我们的战略是在积极参与这一领域的国家举行这次会议。在ICONO'1会议上，美国和其他非欧洲国家的与会者有机会了解到通常在美国会议上没有代表的大量欧洲研究活动。＊＊＊

9505314 Kuzyk This proposal seeks partial funding for an international conference on the topic of organic nonlinear optics with meeting headquarters at Kusatsu, Gunma, Japan, July 23-26, 1995. Travel funds are requested to support U.S. invited speakers and Ph.D. students. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together top researchers - whose expertise spans material design, material characterization, device fabrication, and integrated device architectures - to the intimate setting of a small town to discuss and assess progress in the field. This upcoming conference is motivated by two previous NSF- supported conferences that were held in Pullman, Washington in the summer of 1992 and in Val Thorens, France in the Winter of 1994 (ICONO'1). This proposed meeting would be the third in the series of meetings that we plan to hold every 18 months. The demand for such a meeting was evidenced by full-capacity attendance of ICONO'1. The strategy is to hold this meeting in those countries that are active in this field. At the ICONO'1 meeting, U.S. and other non-European attendees had the opportunity to learn about a large array of European research activities that are normally not represented at U.S. conferences. ***
