Conference: Organization of the 1996 Diffractive Optics and Micro-Optics Topical Meeting (April 28 - May 3, 1996; Boston, MA)

小行星9634521 美国光学学会向国家科学基金会申请5，000美元的赠款，以支持将于1996年4月28日至5月3日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的1996年衍射光学和微光学专题会议。 这项赠款申请是为了支持学生和年轻教师参加这一重要会议的部分旅行。 该会议于一九九四年在纽约的罗切斯特举行，约有16%的参加者是学生。今年的会议将与其他四个专题会议（集成光子学研究，全息术，光学制造和测试以及极紫外光刻）联合举行。 衍射光学专题会议于1992年在新奥尔良首次亮相。1994年在纽约的罗切斯特再次举行了会议。本次会议的目的是汇集不同背景的科学家和工程师，讨论衍射和折射微光学各个方面的新发展。 衍射光学和微光学正在继续寻找新的和有趣的应用。这些光学元件提供了显著减小各种光学系统的尺寸、重量和成本的潜力。此外，衍射和折射微光学器件可以组合以提供独特的系统特性。 将讨论的一些主题领域是： * 衍射微光学元件的设计分析 *衍射微光学元件的制造复制 * 动态衍射/微光学元件 * 应用新产品 *

9634521 Hennage The Optical Society of America requests a grant in the amount of $5,000 from the National Science Foundation for the support of the 1996 Diffractive Optics and Micro-Optics Topical Meeting, to be held April 28-May 3, 1996, in Boston, Massachusetts. This grant request is to support partial travel of students and young faculty to attend this important meeting. This meeting was last held in 1994 in Rochester, New York and about 16% of the participants were students. This year the meeting will be held jointly with four other topical meetings (Integrated Photonics Research, Holography, Optical Fabrication and Testing, and Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography). The Diffractive Optics Topical Meeting made its debut in New Orleans in 1992. The meeting was held again in 1994 in Rochester, New York. The aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists and engineers of various backgrounds to discuss new developments in the various aspects of diffractive and refractive micro-optics. Diffractive optics and micro-optics are continuing to find new and interesting applications. These optical elements provide the potential to reduce significantly the size, weight, and cost of a variety of optical systems. In addition, diffractive and refractive micro-optics can be combined to provide unique system properties. Some of the topic areas to be discussed are: * Design & Analysis of Diffractive & Micro-Optics Optical Elements * Fabrication & Replication of Diffractive Micro-Optics Optical Elements * Dynamic Diffractive/Micro-Optics Optical Elements * Applications & New Products ***
