International Postdoctoral Fellows Program: Implementation of an NxN Crossbar Switch Using Piezoelectric Symmetric Self Electro-optic (S-SEED) Devices

小行星9505359 该奖项是根据国际初级研究员和博士后研究员计划，该计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，以及使用国外独特或互补的设施，专业知识和实验条件。 该奖项将支持Fred R.进行为期12个月的博士后研究访问。Beyette将与英国谢菲尔德大学的Graham John Rees博士合作。 所提出的研究涉及使用压电对称自电光（S-SEED）器件实现NxN交叉开关。 主要目标是调查设备的研究和系统演示之间的接口，开发压电S-Seed设备阵列的NxN交叉开关，利用交叉开关作为测试床的S-SEED阵列的均匀性进行评估，并隔离障碍，以开发基于这些设备的实际系统。 ***

9505359 Beyette This award is under the International Junior Investigator and Postdoctoral Fellows Program, which enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Fred R. Beyette to work with Dr. Graham John Rees at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. The proposed research involves the implementation of an NxN crossbar switch using piezoelectric symmetric self electro- optic (S-SEED) devices. The main objectives are to investigate the interface between device research and system demonstration, to develop piezoelectric S-Seed device arrays for a NxN crossbar switch, to utilize the crossbar switch as a test bed for evaluation of S-SEED array uniformity, and to isolate barriers to the development of practical systems based on these devices. ***
