Infrastructure Support for Doctoral Research in Optics & Photonics

HRD-0400041光学光子学博士研究的基础设施支持汉普顿大学PI：Hommerich，Uwe H.汉普顿大学将加强其博士的教育和研究能力。通过（1）加强该机构在光学光子学方面的研究基础设施和生产力;（2）增加来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生获得博士学位的人数。（3）培养攻读理工科高级学位的本科生。项目活动包括教师专业发展，博士后研究人员，访问科学家，学生外展，学生助学金，供应和研究设备。光学光子学的研究将集中在发光材料的开发和氧化物纳米颗粒的非线性光学光谱学。这项研究的结果影响了电光和激光领域的广泛技术发展。这项研究还推进了发光材料的结构-性能关系的基本理解，并提供了更深入的洞察纳米粒子的非线性光学性质。该计划的多学科性质将提高汉普顿大学几个科学和工程学科的教育和研究质量。教育增强活动包括光学和光子学课程开发，学生研究经验，外展以及与外部合作伙伴一起发展学生实习。

HRD- 0400041Infrastructure Support for Doctoral Research in Optics & PhotonicsHampton UniversityPI: Hommerich, Uwe H.Hampton University will strengthen the education and researchcapabilities of its Ph.D. program in physics by (1) enhancing the institution's research infrastructure and productivity in optics & photonics; (2) increasing the number of students from underrepresented minority groups earning Ph.D. degrees in physics; and, (3) building a pipeline of undergraduate students pursuing advanced degrees in science and engineering. Project activities include faculty professional development, postdoctoral researchers, visiting scientists, student outreach, student assistantships, supplies, and research equipment.Research in optics & photonics will focus on luminescent materials development and nonlinear optical spectroscopy of oxide nanoparticles. Outcomes of this research impact a wide range of technological developments in the area of electro-optics and lasers. This research also advances the fundamental understanding of structure-property relations in luminescent materials and provides deeper insight in the nonlinear optical properties of nanoparticles.The multi-disciplinary nature of the program will enhance the quality of education and research in several science and engineering disciplines at Hampton University. Educational enhancement activities include curriculum development in optics and photonics, student research experiences, outreach, and the development of student internships with external partners.
