9734491 Wang This research project is supported under the Early Career Development (CAREER) program. This premier program emphasizes the importance the National Science Foundation places on the early development of academic careers dedicated to stimulating the discovery process in which the excitement of research is enhanced by inspired teaching and enthusiastic learning. It combines in a single program the support of research and education of the highest quality and in the broadest sense. The research activity involves the use of ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (USMOT), a novel system combining an ultrasonic transducer and a laser system, to study the acousto- optical effects in liquid and gel turbid media (e.g. biological tissues). The specific tasks of the activity include: 1) computer modeling of turbid acousto-optics; 2) effects of the ultrasonic wave on the ultrasound modulation of light; 3) effects of the light source on the ultrasound modulation of light; 4) effects of the relative configuration between the ultrasonic wave and light on the ultrasound modulation of light; 5) effects of the acoustic and optical properties and geometry of the media; and 6) characterization and optimization of images of turbid media. The educational plan aims to directly involve students in the research, with specific goals including the development of a new course in Optical Imaging, expansion of an existing course in Medical Imaging, and outreach to pre-college students through the Texas A&M Summer Student Program. It is conjectured that the development of turbid acousto-optics as a new field in optical engineering may lead to applications in medicine, underwater detection, and atmospheric optics. ***

9734491 Wang该研究项目得到了早期职业发展（职业）计划的支持。 这项主要计划强调了国家科学基金会对学术职业的早期发展的重要性，该职业致力于刺激发现过程，从而通过启发的教学和热情学习来增强研究的兴奋。 它在一个计划中结合了最高质量和最广泛意义的研究和教育。 研究活动涉及使用超声调制的光学断层扫描（USMOT），这是一种结合超声传感器和激光系统的新型系统，以研究液体和凝胶浊度介质（例如生物组织）中的声学效应。 活动的特定任务包括：1）浑浊的声学的计算机建模； 2）超声波对光的超声调制的影响； 3）光源对光的超声调制的影响； 4）超声波与光之间的相对构型对光的超声调制的影响； 5）培养基的声学和光学特性和几何形状的影响； 6）表征和优化浊度介质的图像。 该教育计划旨在直接让学生参与研究，其中包括开发光学成像的新课程，扩展现有的医学成像课程以及通过德克萨斯州A＆M夏季学生计划向大学前学生推广。 据推测，在光学工程中，浑浊的大声探视的发展可能会导致医学，水下检测和大气光学的应用。 ***
