U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Nonlinear Optics and Laser Dynamics

这项为期三年的美法合作研究奖包括罗切斯特大学光学研究所的Govind P. Agrawal和Robert W. Boyd，以及法国雷恩大学的Albert Le Floch和他的团队。研究人员将在几个主题上进行合作，这些主题都与非线性光学、非线性动力学和激光有关，包括光纤激光器中的非线性效应、耦合光学系统的非线性动力学和非线性光学腔。这家美国集团为这一合作带来了理论上的专业知识。这是由法国小组的实验专业知识补充。该奖项代表了美国方面向美国国家科学基金会和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）提出的联合提案。美国国家科学基金会将支付美国研究人员、研究生和本科生的旅费和生活费。法国科学研究中心将支持法国研究人员访问美国。该合作将促进对决定非线性材料、光学系统动力学和光纤激光器效应的物理过程的基本理解。

0003636AgrawalThis three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research involves Govind P. Agrawal and Robert W. Boyd of the Institute of Optics, University of Rochester and Albert Le Floch and his group at the Universite de Rennes in Rennes, France. The investigators will cooperate on several topics, all related to nonlinear optics, nonlinear dynamics, and lasers, including nonlinear effects in fiber lasers, nonlinear dynamics of coupled optical systems and nonlinear optical cavities. The US group brings to this collaboration expertise in theory. This is complemented by experimental expertise of the French group. This award represents the US side of a joint proposal to the NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigators, graduate and undergraduate students. The CNRS will support the visits of French researchers to the United States. The collaboration will advance fundamental understanding of the physical processes that determine nonlinear materials, dynamics of optical systems, and effects in fiber lasers.
