Conference: International Conference on Organic Nonlinear Optics III (Marco Island, Florida, December 16-20, 1996)

该提案为有机非线性光学主题的国际会议寻求部分资金，会议总部设在佛罗里达州的马可岛。要求提供旅费，以支持美国特邀演讲者和学生。会议的目的是汇集顶尖的研究人员-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-到一个小岛的俘虏设置来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举行的三次nsf支持的会议推动的；1994年冬天在法国Val Thorens拍摄（ICONO’1）；1995年夏天在日本草津拍摄（ICONO’2）。这次拟议的会议将是每18个月举行一次的系列会议中的第四次会议。ICONO'1和ICONO'2的满员出席证明了对这种会议的需求。我们的策略是在那些有机非线性光学研究活跃的国家举办这次会议。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。同样，在ICONO'2上，环太平洋地区的研究也得到了展示。NSF资助的学生参加了这两场会议。这次会议的目的是把这群国际上杰出的研究人员聚集在美国的一个论坛上，鼓励讨论和互动。＊＊＊

9625945 Kuzyk This proposal seeks partial funding for an international conference on the topic of organic nonlinear optics with meeting headquarters on Marco Island, Florida. Travel funds are requested to support U.S. invited speakers and 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 captive setting of a small island to discuss and assess progress in the field. This upcoming conference is motivated by 3 previous NSF-supported conferences that were held in Pullman, Washington in the summer of 1992; in Val Thorens, France in the Winter of 1994 (ICONO'1); and in Kusatsu, Japan in the Summer of 1995(ICONO'2). This proposed meeting would be the fourth in the series of meetings that are held every 18 months. The demand for such a meeting was evidenced by full-capacity attendance at both ICONO'1 and ICONO'2. The strategy is to hold this meeting in those countries that are active in organic nonlinear optics. 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. Similarly, at ICONO'2, Pacific Rim research was show-cased. NSF supported students attended both conferences. The aim of this meeting is to bring together this group of internationally distinguished researchers to a forum in the United States that encourages discussion and interactions. ***
