This CAREER project has a scientific component that is based on the utilization of a high-intensity femtosecond laser system to investigate several important aspects of laser high-order harmonic generation: 1) the behavior of intrinsic atomic phases will be examined by use of a finely-spaced standing intensity modulation in the laser focus; 2) counter-propagating light will be used to introduce quasi phase matching for increased harmonic production efficiency; and 3) the quasi phase matching scheme will be utilized to examine various aspects of high harmonic generation. The educational component of the project consists of the development of a student laboratory and curriculum for advanced optics that combines laboratory and analytical experience with animations that illustrate advanced optical concepts.

这个CAREER项目有一个科学的组成部分，它是基于利用高强度飞秒激光系统来研究激光高次谐波产生的几个重要方面：1）本征原子相的行为将通过使用激光焦点中的细间隔驻波强度调制来检查; 2）反向传播的光将用于引入准相位匹配以提高谐波产生效率;以及3）准相位匹配方案将用于检查高次谐波产生的各个方面。 该项目的教育部分包括开发一个学生实验室和先进光学课程，将实验室和分析经验与说明先进光学概念的动画相结合。
