0202631WrightThe International Research Fellowship Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will support a twelve month research fellowship by Dr. Daniel Wright to work with Dr. Joseph Zyss at the L'Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan in Cachon, France. This project will be co-supported by the Math and Physical Sciences Directorate's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities.This project will advance research on organic microlasers in the lab of Dr. Joseph Zyss at the L'Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan. The research will be directed in two areas, one focusing on the laser gain media and the other on the laser feedback structure. The work on the gain media will concentrate on the development of organic microlasers that operate in the near infrared portion of the spectrum at the industrially useful wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 um since there are currently no organic laser sources that work at these wavelengths. The project will entail the examination of new polymers doped with rare-earth ions that could provide efficient laser light in this spectra region. The PI's work on microlaser cavity design will focus on improving the directionality of the emissions of these devices by fabricating organic microdisk structures with engineered defects and also exploring other planar cavity shapes such as ovals, mulipoles, and polygons. He will subsequently investigate the coupling of these planar cavities to optical fibers, waveguides, and other microdisks. In order to characterize and improve the feedback structures, he will perform experiments in which the emitted light of each new cavity will be collected such that the angular dependence and spectral properties of the light can be examined. The results of these experiments will be compared to mathematical models of the systems under study.Dr. Zyss is one of the leading researchers in organic non-linear optics and photonics.

0202631Wright国际研究奖学金计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。 该项目的奖项为联合研究以及使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件提供了机会。该奖项将支持 Daniel Wright 博士与 Joseph Zyss 博士在巴黎高等院校开展为期 12 个月的研究奖学金卡尚高等师范学院位于法国卡雄。 该项目将得到数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室的共同支持。该项目将推进卡尚高等师范学院 Joseph Zyss 博士实验室的有机微型激光器研究。 该研究将集中在两个领域，一是激光增益介质，二是激光反馈结构。 增益介质方面的工作将集中于开发在工业有用波长 1.3 和 1.55 um 光谱的近红外部分工作的有机微型激光器，因为目前还没有在这些波长下工作的有机激光源。 该项目将需要检查掺杂稀土离子的新型聚合物，这些聚合物可以在该光谱区域提供高效的激光。 PI 在微激光腔设计方面的工作将侧重于通过制造具有工程缺陷的有机微盘结构来改善这些设备的发射方向性，并探索其他平面腔形状，如椭圆形、多极和多边形。 随后他将研究这些平面腔与光纤、波导和其他微盘的耦合。 为了表征和改进反馈结构，他将进行实验，收集每个新腔的发射光，以便可以检查光的角度依赖性和光谱特性。 这些实验的结果将与所研究系统的数学模型进行比较。 Zyss 是有机非线性光学和光子学领域的领先研究人员之一。
