International Conference on Orgranic Nonlinear Optics VI, December 16-20, 2001, Tuscon, Arizona

该会议奖由亚利桑那大学化学部的先进材料项目、材料研究部的电子材料项目和工程理事会的电子和通信系统部门共同颁发，以支持国际有机非线性光学会议VI （ICONO VI）。有机和聚合物材料非线性光学研讨会将提供一个论坛，讨论最新的发展和基础研究，以及它们在光子技术、器件和体系结构中的应用。以前在不同国家举行的ICONO会议得到了广泛的参加，并汇集了国际上杰出的研究人员进行讨论和互动。这些会议受到国内外科学家参与者的好评，并且总是超额认购。计划中的会议预计将为对非线性光学性质的有机和聚合物材料有共同兴趣的科学家提供一个论坛，讨论正在进行的和新兴的研究和教育领域，并促进全球工业，政府和学术科学家之间的对话。来自美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支付来自传统黑人和少数民族机构的与会者的注册费和一些当地开支。会议的组织者还将努力鼓励其他代表性不足的群体参加会议。第六届有机非线性光学国际会议将提供一个有利于思想发展的论坛，帮助弥合来自全球学术界，工业界和政府实验室的材料化学领域之间的差距，导致新的合作，并定义基于聚合物的光子材料的前沿。

This conference award to the University of Arizona is made by the Advanced Materials Program in the Chemistry Division, the Electronic Materials Program in the Division of Materials Research, and the Electronic and Communications System in the Engineering Directorate in support of the International Conference on Organic Nonlinear Optics VI (ICONO VI). The symposium in non-linear optics of organic and polymeric materials will provide a forum for discussion of recent developments and fundamental studies, and their applications in photonic technologies, devices and architectures. Previous ICONO meetings in different countries were widely attended, and brought together internationally distinguished researchers for discussion and interactions. These conferences have been very well received by participants, both national and international scientists, and are always oversubscribed. The planned conference is expected to provide a forum for discussion of ongoing and emerging areas of research and education among scientists with common interests in organic and polymeric materials with non-linear optical properties, and to promote dialog between industry, government and academic scientists from around the globe. Funds from NSF will be used to cover registration fees and some local expenses for attendees from historically black and minority institutions. Attempts also will be made by the organizers of the conference to encourage participation from other under-represented groups.The International Conference on organic Nonlinear Optics VI will provide a forum conducive to the development of ideas, help bridge gaps among the materials chemistry constituencies in academia, industry and government laboratories from around the globe, lead to new collaborations and define the frontiers of photonic materials based on polymers.
