Organization of the 1998 Integrated Photonics Research Topical Meeting to be held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, March 30-April 3, 1998

ECS-9804342 Stephen D.凡托内 这是一份建议书，要求为参加1998年3月30日至4月3日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的维多利亚举行的1998年综合光子学研究专题会议的学生提供旅费。 本次会议范围内要解决的主题包括重要研究领域的研究，这些研究领域正在迅速发展，因为光子学和集成光学在光通信中发挥着重要作用。 集成光子学有望增强光学元件的功能，提高元件的可靠性并降低制造成本。 资助本次会议的资金将用于研究生的旅行，最优先考虑的是作为第一作者在会议上发表论文的学生。 这是对NSF资金的适当利用，因为在参加会议中获得的经验在教育方面，在建立专业联系和寻找工作方面对研究生来说往往是非常宝贵的。 我建议为这次会议提供2,000美元的奖励。

ECS-9804342 Stephen D. Fantone This is a proposal requesting support for student travel for 1998 Integrated Photonics Research Topical Meeting to be held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, March 30-April 3, 1998. The subject matter to be addressed in the scope of this conference embraces research in important research areas that are growing rapidly as photonics and integrated optics play a major role in optical communications. Integrated photonics promises to enhance the functionality of the optical components, to improve components reliability and to reduce the cost of manufacturing. The funds granted to support this conference will be used for travel of graduate students with highest priority given to students who are presenting papers at the conference as first authors.. This is appropriate utilization of NSF funds, since the experience obtained in attending conferences are often invaluable to the graduate students in educational terms, in establishing professional contacts and in job searching. I recommend an award to be made for the sum of $2,000 for this conference.
