The REU Site: Nanophotonics, Quantum Photonics, and Vision/Biomedical Optics at the University of Rochester will engage participating students in the frontiers of photonics research in nanoscience, bioscience and quantum science while at the same time providing them with experiences to recognize the excellent career opportunities, both academic and industry based, available in photonics. The expected outcomes of the REU are (1) growth in participants’ photonics knowledge and awareness of photonics as a career, (2) increased diversity in the pool of students entering research and careers in photonics, and (3) research productivity that rewards both REU students and faculty/graduate student mentors. It has been widely recognized that understanding and controlling the most elemental unit of light – the photon – is essential to innovating light-based technology as well as evolving critical elements of our nation’s defense and security. The significance of this REU Site is that it responds to this national need and will enhance our nation’s capabilities by training top-quality students to become key contributors in the commercial photonics sector, leaders on the frontiers of fundamental photonic science and engineering, and the very best educators in colleges and universities across the nation. Additionally, this REU will increase diversity in graduate-level photonics research and the workplace by prioritizing members of underrepresented groups, community college students, and students from institutions lacking large STEM research programs, all via pipelines already connected to the University of Rochester and The Institute of Optics.The REU Site: Nanophotonics, Quantum Photonics, and Vision/Biomedical Optics at the University of Rochester will engage participating students in the frontiers of photonics research in nanoscience, bioscience and quantum science while at the same time providing them with experiences to recognize the excellent career opportunities, both academic and industry based, available in photonics. To make the previous possible the REU program will benefit from the existing University of Rochester administrative and student support infrastructure, the Institute of Optics’s strong ties with the local Rochester photonics industry (through the Rochester Regional Photonics Cluster), meaningful relationships with both area community colleges and partner undergraduate universities as well as the Institute’s Industrial Associates program and its associated Summer School. The REU site will also advance the knowledge of how best to train and inspire undergraduate researchers. Multiple formative and summative assessments will measure students’ growth during the summer and in subsequent years, and the mentor/student connections will stretch beyond the summer by bringing REU participants back to the University of Rochester to participate in the Institute’s Industrial Associates biannual symposium.This Site is supported in part by funds provided to the National Science Foundation by the Semiconductor Research Corporation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

REU 站点：罗切斯特大学的纳米光子学、量子光子学和视觉/生物医学光学将让参与的学生参与纳米科学、生物科学和量子科学的光子学研究前沿，同时为他们提供经验，以认可其出色的职业生涯REU 的预期成果包括：(1) 参与者的光子学知识和光子学职业意识的增长；(2) 增加光子学领域的多样性。进入光子学研究和职业的学生群体，以及（3）奖励 REU 学生和教师/研究生导师的研究生产力 人们普遍认识到，理解和控制光的最基本单位——光子——至关重要。创新光基技术以及不断发展我们国家国防和安全的关键要素，该 REU 站点的意义在于它响应了这一国家需求，并将通过培训顶尖学生成为关键贡献者来增强我们国家的能力。商业的此外，该 REU 将通过优先考虑代表性不足的群体的成员来增加研究生水平的光子学研究和工作场所的多样性，社区学院的学生以及来自缺乏大型 STEM 研究项目的机构的学生，所有这些都通过已连接到罗切斯特大学和光学研究所的管道进行。REU 站点：纳米光子学、量子光子学和罗切斯特大学的视觉/生物医学光学项目将让参与的学生参与纳米科学、生物科学和量子科学领域的光子学研究前沿，同时为他们提供经验，让他们认识到在学术和工业方面的绝佳职业机会。为了使上述目标成为可能，REU 项目将受益于罗彻斯特大学现有的行政和学生支持基础设施、光学研究所与当地罗彻斯特光子学行业的紧密联系（通过罗彻斯特地区光子学）。 REU 网站还将与地区社区学院和合作本科大学以及研究所的工业伙伴计划及其相关的暑期学校建立有意义的关系，从而提高如何最好地培训和激励本科研究人员的知识。评估将衡量学生在夏季和随后几年的成长，导师/学生的联系将延伸到夏季之后，将 REU 参与者带回罗切斯特大学参加该研究所的工业协会一年两次的研讨会。该网站得到以下支持部分资金来自半导体研究公司向国家科学基金会提供的资金。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
