2001 Gordon Research Conference for Student Support for the Gordon Conference on Nonlinear Optics - Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire, July 29 - August 3, 2001

这项提案要求为2001年戈登非线性光学和激光研究会议提供43.500英镑的学生资助，会议将在新罕布夏州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶学院举行。2001年7月29日至8月3日。非线性光学和激光领域一直是并将继续是基础研究和应用研究的一个极其活跃和富有成果的领域。最近在激光冷却、飞秒化学和激光二极管方面的诺贝尔奖证明了它对科学的影响。最近电讯业的爆炸性增长证明了它对我们的经济和我们的日常生活的影响。和前几年一样。这次会议的目的是提供一个非正式论坛，介绍和讨论选定的非线性光学、量子电子学和激光及其在学术界和工业界的物理、化学和工程应用方面的新工作。大力强调讨论和互动的非正式气氛意在鼓励以专业协会定期会议所不可能的方式交流意见。学生尤其受益于这些机会。预计将有大约100名来自大学、行业和政府的科学家和学生参加。参加会议的人数限制在135人以下。维护非正式氛围，提高互动水平。拟由国家科学基金会(43 500美元)分摊会议估计总费用30 000美元，戈登会议提供的资金(19 000美元)。以及从其他来源募集资金(7500美元)。国家科学基金会的资金将用于支持选定的研究生，这些学生由于自身资金来源的限制，需要经济援助才能参加会议。大会不会向演讲者支付任何酬金。

This proposal requests a grant of 43.500 in student support of the 2001 Gordon Research Conference on Nonlinear Optics and Lasers to be held at the Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire. July 29 - August 3, 2001. The field of nonlinear optics and lasers has been and continues to be an extremely active and fruitful area of both basic and applied research. Recent Nobel Prizes in laser cooling, femtosecond chemistry, and laser diodes attest to its impact on science. The recent explosive growth of the telecommunications indusiry attest to its impact on our economy and also our daily lives. As in previous years. the purpose of this conference is to provide an informal forum for the presentation and discussion of new work on selected topics in nonlinear optics, quanium electronics and lasers, and their applications to physics, chemistry and engineering, both in academe and in industry. An informal atmosphere with a strong emphasis on discussion and interactions is intended to encourage the exchange of ideas in a manner not possible at regular meetings of professional societies. Students in particular benefit from these opportunities. A total attendance of approximately 100 scientists and students from universities, industry and government is anticipated. Participation at the conference is limited to under 135. to preserve the informal atmosphere and increase the level of interactions. It is proposed that the estimated total expense for the conference of $30,000 be shared by the National Science Foundation (43,500), the funds supplied by the Gordon Conference ($19,000). and funds to be solicited from other sources ($7,500). The National Science Foundation funds will be used to support selected graduate students who, because of limitations of their own sources of funding, require financial assistance to attend the conference. No honoraria will be paid to speakers at the conference.
