Conference: 2003 Gorgon Research Conference on Nonlinear Optics and Lasers

0330692赢得智慧价值：该提案要求3500美元来支持2003年戈登非线性光学和激光研究会议。这笔资金将用于让更多的研究生参加这次会议。今年S会议的亮点包括周期MCrO/纳米结构材料中的非线性光学、相对论非线性光学、超高次谐波的产生、非线性显微镜、量子光学和量子信息科学、光周期的计数和控制、微结构光纤的物理和应用。自2001年上一次戈登会议以来，所有这些领域都取得了重大进展，其中许多领域存在重大争议，这使其成为阿戈登会议的理想主题。对于学生和年轻教师来说，这将是一次奇妙的会议。广泛的影响：这次跨学科会议将把该领域的领导者以及研究生和年轻的博士后聚集在一个强烈刺激和互动的环境中。在技术会议期间分配了大量时间进行讨论。我们将积极寻找和鼓励少数民族和女性研究生参与。

0330692WinfulIntellectual Merit: This proposal requests $3500 to support the 2003 Gordon ResearchConference on Nonlinear Optics and Lasers. The funds will be used to enable moregraduate students to attend this conference. Highlights of this year,s conference includenonlinear optics in periodic mcro/nano-structured materials, relativistic nonlinear optics,the generation of ultrahigh harmonics, nonlinear microscopy, quantum optics andquantum information science, the counting and control of optical cycles, and the physicsand applications of microstructured fibers. All of these areas have seen significantadvances since the last Gordon Conference in 2001, and many of these areas havesignificant controversies associated with them making the subject matter ideal for aGordon Conference. This will be a fantastic conference for students and young faculty.Broader Impact: This interdisciplinary conference will bring together leaders in thefield as well as graduate students and young postdocs in an intensely stimulating andinteractive environment. Substantial time is allocated for discussions within the technicalsessions. We will actively seek out and encourage participation by minority and female graduate students.
