This project is designed to expose ten undergraduate students, chosen from several Central Florida Institutions, to one year of research experience in the development and applications of lasers. Seven internationally recognized faculty in the Center for Research in Electro Optics and Lasers (CREOL) will act as Research Supervisors in this project. CREOL is a world leading center of excellence in optics, laser development and laser-related sciences. This program will be enhanced by: (1) an introductory course in the basic principals of optics and lasers, taught by three principal investigators; (2) the offering of a course on laser systems; (3) weekly research seminars organized specifically for the REU students; (4) weekly industrial visits and seminars, provided by the numerous optics and laser companies in the Orlando area; (5) attendance at the annual SPIE Orlando optics conference, including attendance at one of the many short courses; and (6) continuous monitoring of the students' progress by the principal investigators. Most of the activity will take place in the summer term, with the students continuing part-time in the fall and spring. The primary emphasis of this program is on encouraging more talented undergraduate students from the Central Florida region to pursue graduate studies in the field of optics and lasers.

该项目旨在让从佛罗里达州中部几家机构中选出的十名本科生获得为期一年的激光器开发和应用研究经验。 电光和激光研究中心 (CREOL) 的七名国际知名教师将担任该项目的研究主管。 CREOL 是光学、激光开发和激光相关科学领域世界领先的卓越中心。 该计划将通过以下方式得到加强：（1）由三名主要研究人员教授的光学和激光基本原理入门课程； (2) 开设激光系统课程； (3) 每周专门为REU学生举办的研究研讨会； (4) 每周由奥兰多地区众多光学和激光公司提供的行业参观和研讨会； (5) 参加一年一度的 SPIE 奥兰多光学会议，包括参加众多短期课程之一； (6) 主要研究者持续监控学生的进步。 大部分活动将在夏季学期进行，学生们将在秋季和春季继续兼职。 该计划的主要重点是鼓励来自佛罗里达州中部地区更多有才华的本科生攻读光学和激光领域的研究生课程。
