U.S.-China Cooperative Research: Nonlinear Terahertz Spectroscopy Research and Educational Exchange Program

小行星9601453 该奖项支持RPI和北京物理研究所之间的合作研究和教育计划的持续发展。 该推荐奖项是通过电气和通信系统部门对PI职业生涯奖的补充。 该研究涉及产生强烈的太赫兹辐射，这将在电学，光学和光电子材料和器件的表征方面开辟新的研究领域。应用程序也可能在表征生物材料的医疗应用。与中国的合作带来了许多技术优势。 这家中国研究小组已经承认了生长和切割非线性晶体的专业知识，这对研究至关重要。并拥有最先进的激光设备，使他们能够进行重要的实验部分。在中国资金来源的支持下，中国科学家将在RPI接受超快电子学的进一步培训。 对双方的好处是巨大的和公平的。 该计划的一个重要组成部分是研究生和本科美国学生的参与。基于为期一年的试点项目的成功，PI建议在未来四年内将机会扩大到16名学生，参加一项涉及在RPI和中国进行的实验的研究计划。

9601453 Zhang This award supports continued development of a cooperative research and education program between RPI and the Institute of Physics, Beijing. This recommended award is supplemental to the PI's CAREER award through the Division of Electrical and Communication Systems. The research involves generation of intense terahertz radiation that will open new research areas in the characterization of electrical, optical, and optoelectronics materials and devices. Applications are also likely in characterization of biological materials for medical applications. Many technical benefits are associated with this cooperation with China. The Chinese group has acknowledged expertise growing and cutting the nonlinear crystals which are essential to the research., and has state of the art laser facilities, enabling them to carry out significant parts of the experiments. Chinese scientists, supported by Chinese funding sources, will be trained further at RPI in ultrafast electronics. The benefits to both sides are substantial and equitable. An important part of this program is the participation of graduate and undergraduate US students. Based on the success of a one-year pilot program, the PI proposes to extend the opportunity to up to sixteen students over the next four years to participate in a research program involving experiments conducted both at RPI and in China.
