Graduate Research Traineeships in Photonics

格尔-9554533福雷斯特我们提出了一个创新的计划，提供独特的研究和教育经验的研究生追求在普林斯顿大学的光子学事业。所要求的五个研究生研究培训将加速电气工程系内一个新成立的专注于光学和光电工程的部门的发展。该计划形成了机构间多学科努力的核心，为光学科学和工程提供教育和研究机会，包括光通信，先进的光子材料和器件以及生物医学应用。为了促进和促进这一雄心勃勃的努力，光子学和光电材料先进技术中心（ATC/POEM）于1989年通过新泽西州的拨款在普林斯顿成立。该中心将POEM教师和学生与光子行业紧密结合，他们在过去几年中一直从事从学术界到工业部门的有效技术转让计划。因此，POEM形成了大型和小型光子学公司未来职业生涯的重点。作为这项建议的一部分，我们将鼓励学生直接与这些公司在电气工程系的教师和他们的工业主管之间的直接，联合监督下工作。在附录中，我们包括四封来自工业参与者的承诺信，这些研究生研究培训。 此外，我们将与本科院校密切合作，这些院校将作为高素质和感兴趣的本科生的“饲养员”，为学生和他们的本科生顾问提供光学科学和技术的相关经验。东北部拥有丰富的本科院校，以其教育质量而闻名世界。因此，普林斯顿处于有利地位， 与这些学院共同参与这一迅速发展的重要技术领域的本科生暑期实习。作为一个起点，我们已经与Swathmore学院达成协议，参与我们的本科实习生计划，作为普林斯顿光学计划未来研究生的供应商。

GER-9554533 Forrest We propose an innovative program that provides unique research and educational experiences for graduate students pursuing a career in photonics at Princeton University. The requested five Graduate Research Traineeships will accelerate the growth of a newly established division concentrating on optics and optoelectronic engineering within the Department of Electrical Engineering. This program forms the nucleus of an inter-institutional multidisciplinary effort to provide educational and research opportunities in optical sciences and engineering, including optical communications, advanced photonic materials and devices, and biomedical applications. To promote and facilitate this ambitious effort, the Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Optoelectronic Materials (ATC/POEM) was established at Princeton through a grant from the State of New Jersey in 1989. This center tightly couples POEM faculty and students with the photonics industry, who have been engaged over the last several years in an effective program of technology transfer from academia to the industrial sector. Hence, POEM forms the focus of these future careers in both large and small photonics-based companies. As part of this proposal, we will encourage students to work directly with these companies under direct, joint supervision between the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and their industrial supervisor. In the Appendix we include four letters of commitment from industrial participants to these Graduate Research Traineeships. Furthermore, we will work closely with undergraduate institutions which will act as "feeders" of highly qualified and interested undergraduates, to provide both the student and their undergraduate advisor with relevant experiences in optical sciences and technology. The northeast has a wealth of undergraduate institutions which are world-renown for their quality of education. Hence, Princeton is well-positioned to engage jointly with these colleges in undergraduate summer internships in this rapidly advancing and important technological area. As a starting point, we have already established an agreement with Swathmore College to participate in our undergraduate intern program to act as a supplier of future graduate students to the optics program at Princeton.
