Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Optoelectronic Devices, Interconnects, and Packaging

9520255 Dagenais这项为期五年的持续奖励提供资金，用于在亚利桑那大学/马里兰大学建立光电子器件、互连和封装行业/大学合作研究中心。14家公司和政府机构将成为这个联合大学中心的成员。这两个研究地点的初步研究议程将涉及：1)先进处理和网络系统的光学互连开发；2)用于光学神经网络和其他应用的全息互连；3)半导体非线性理论；4)半导体激光器和全光开关；5)近中红外光学参数振荡器；6)新型光电器件；7)波导片板项目；8)半导体激光放大器：封装和应用；9)声光相关器的表征和建模；10)工艺和器件表征。联席主任和他们的同事都是知名的研究人员，有资格管理这个中心。该项目与电气和通信系统部Deborah Crawford博士进行了协调。项目经理建议马里兰大学在为期五年的持续奖励的第一年获得5万美元的奖励。此后的所有年度将按每年50000美元的水平提供资金。每12个月接近尾声时，项目经理和/或工程教育和中心处处长将审查中心在一系列更新标准方面的进展，包括：1)行业/大学互动的发展程度；2)支持基础的发展程度；以及3)强大的研究计划发展的程度。如果审查结果令人满意，项目经理将建议对下一阶段的持续奖励提供支持。

9520255 Dagenais This five-year continuing award provides funding to establish an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Optoelectronic Devices, Interconnects, and Packaging at the University of Arizona/University of Maryland. Fourteen companies and Government Agencies are becoming members of this joint university Center. The initial research agenda at the two research sites will address: 1) Optic Interconnect Development for Advanced Processing and Network Systems; 2) Holographic Interconnects for Optical Neural Networks and Other Applications; 3) Theory of Semiconductor Nonlinearities; 4) Semiconductor Lasers and All-Optical Switches; 5) Near to Mid-Infrared Optical Parametric Oscillators; 6) Novel Optoelectronic Devices; 7) Waveguide Waferboard Project; 8) Semiconductor Laser Amplifiers: Packaging and Applications; 9) Characterization and Modeling of Acousto-Optic Correlators; 10) Process and Device Characterization. The Co-Directors and their colleagues are well known researchers and are qualified to run this Center. This project has been coordinated with Dr. Deborah Crawford, Division of Electrical and Communications Systems. The Program Manager recommends the University of Maryland be awarded $50,000 for the first year of a five-year continuing award. All subsequent years will be funded at the $50,000 per year level. Near the end of each 12-month period, the Program Manager and/or the Division Director of the of the Engineering Education and Centers Division will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, including the following: 1) the extent to which the industry/university interaction is developing; 2) the extent to which the support base is developing; and 3) the extent to which a robust research program is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Manager will recommends support for the next period of this continuing award.
