01.27.03 - NAS Researcher Scores Funding for Nanolaser Work
NAS Division researcher Cun-Zheng Ning, and Hou-Tee Ng of NASA Ames Research Center's Nanotechnology Branch, were among the winners of the Ames Directors' Discretionary Fund (DDF) for fiscal year 2003. The grant provides the financial support needed to begin conducting proposed research on Patterned Nanolaser Arrays as Building Blocks for Nano-Photonics Systems. The proposed nano-photonic devices will consume considerably less power, perform better, and achieve revolutionary functional densities -- all necessary to withstand extreme conditions in space.
