US-Europe Planning Visit: Ultrafast Dephasing in Continuous-wave Random Laser Systems

这项为期12个月的合同允许PI参与计划访问，以评估意大利佛罗伦萨的欧洲非线性光谱实验室和苏格兰圣安德鲁斯大学的超快动力学国际合作研究可用的资源。PI将协调美国、意大利和苏格兰互补小组在新一代透明陶瓷光学特性方面的国际合作，量子力学效应在其中发挥作用。这次访问将评估美国、意大利和苏格兰各自的研究能力和责任，并阐明构建多功能陶瓷国际合作研究计划所需的设备和基础设施方面的个人优势。国际合作的主要期望是推动一种多功能新型高性能光学材料的开发，并为它们找到意想不到的应用。计划中的访问还将有助于制定参与实验室的研究生正在进行的交流访问计划。

This twelve-month award allows the PI to participate in planning visits to assess resources available for international collaborative research on ultrafast dynamics in at the European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy in Florence, Italy and at the University of St. Andrews in St. Andrews in Scotland. The PI will orchestrate an international collaboration of complementary groups in the US, Italy, and Scotland on the optical properties of a new generation of transparent ceramics in which quantum mechanical effects play a role. The visit will allow assessment of research capabilities and responsibilities of the respective US, Italian, and Scottish groups and clarify individual strengths in equipment and infrastructure required to structure an international cooperative research proposal on multifunctional ceramics.The primary expectation of the international collaboration is to advance the development of a versatile new class of high performance optical materials and to find unanticipated applications for them. The planning visit will also help develop an ongoing program of exchange visits by graduate students of the participating laboratories.
