9805566BucksbaumThis two-year award supports US-France cooperative research on ultrafast lasers between the NSF Science and Technology Center for Ultrafast Optical Science at the University of Michigan, directed by Gerard Mourou, and the Laboratory for Applied Optics at the French National Center for Scientific Research. The objective of the research is the development of a 100-terawatt tabletop system based on chirped-pulse amplification of Kerr-lens modelocked laser pulses. The project involves the exchange of US and French postdoctoral scientists. The US group will focus on high peak power, spatial and temporal beam quality and investigate new amplifying media. This is complemented by French research on harmonic generation with good efficiency. If a novel source is developed, it will have several important applications for basic science in the areas of Wakefield acceleration of electrons, and in short wavelength light generation.

这个为期两年的奖项支持由Gerard Mourou领导的密歇根大学NSF超快光学科学技术中心和法国国家科学研究中心应用光学实验室在超快激光方面的美法合作研究。该研究的目的是开发一个基于克尔透镜模型锁定激光脉冲啁啾脉冲放大的100太瓦台式系统。该项目涉及美国和法国博士后科学家的交流。美国小组将专注于峰值功率、空间和时间光束质量，并研究新的放大介质。这与法国对谐波发电的研究相辅相成。如果一种新的光源被开发出来，它将在电子的韦克菲尔德加速领域和短波长的光产生领域的基础科学中有几个重要的应用。
