Abstract

This project requests travel support for 10 student participants from U.S. universities in the Student Paper Competition at the 2001 International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics (MWP). The International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics (MWP) is the major international meeting on microwave photonic devices, systems and applications. The MWP'01 is co-sponsored by the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) and the Lasers and Electro-Optics Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It will be held in Long Beach, CA on October 7-10, 2001. Each year, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society and IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society promote student education in microwave and photonics engineering through a number of mechanisms. The Best Student Paper Program at the MWP is one of the student outreach programs to promote the interactions among students, faculty and industrial participants, and helps to develop the students' technical acumen as well as their communication skills. It also introduces them to the international technical community and helps to build a community of students who will lead the next generation of microwave photonics engineers. The MWP provides financial support of various forms to student presenters but does not reimburse travel expenses. Travel support from NSF will ensure that the program is open to the widest range of interested applicants from U.S. universities.
