Ultrafast Spatio-Temporal Optical Field Characterization Methods

在这个目标计划中，PI将探索快速脉冲电场的联合空间和时间特征的新技术。这些新技术是基于干涉测量方法，而不是光谱分析方法。该计划的一个主要长期目标是开发易于实施和足够灵活的测量工具，以用于各种脉冲能量、波长和持续时间。这样的工具将在包括物理、材料科学、化学和生物学在内的广泛的科学学科中有潜在的应用。这项研究是在罗切斯特大学的研究小组和克拉克-MXR的联合PI之间进行的。实验工作将在两个地点进行，学生部分在罗切斯特工作，部分在克拉克-MXR的实验室工作。部分资金由多学科活动办公室(OMA)提供。

In this GOALI program the PI's will explore novel techniques for the joint spatial and temporal characterization of fast- pulsed electric fields. These new techniques are based on interferometric, as opposed to spectrographic, methods. A major long-term objective of the program is to develop measurement tools that are simple to implement and flexible enough to be used for a wide range of pulse energies, wavelengths and time duration. Such tools would have potential application in a broad range of scientific disciplines, including physics, material science, chemistry, and biology. The research is conducted in collaboration between the group at the University of Rochester and the co- PI from Clark-MXR. Experimental efforts will be divided between the two locations, with students working partially at Rochester and partially at the laboratories of Clark-MXR. Partial funding is provided by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA).
