U.S.-Mexico Program: An Improved Z-Scan Technique

9724813货车斯特里兰 这个美国-墨西哥奖将支持中佛罗里达大学的Eric货车Stryland教授与墨西哥恩塞纳达的CICESE（恩塞纳达科学研究中心）应用物理部的Mehrdad Mohebi教授进行研究合作。 研究人员打算提高目前激光方法的灵敏度，以测量材料的非线性折射和吸收系数。 这将使他们能够极大地扩展可用于非线性全光开关应用研究的材料数量，特别是开发一种计算机控制的全自动改进扫描技术，用于材料光学特性的常规测量。 这项研究将联合收割机CICESE中心在模拟激光束在非线性材料中传播方面的专业知识与佛罗里达的实验资源相结合。 这项研究的结果将立即适用于研究有机材料的超快速开关应用的发展。 ***

9724813 Van Stryland This U.S.-Mexico award will support Prof. Eric Van Stryland of the University of Central Florida in a research collaboration with Prof. Mehrdad Mohebi of the Applied Physics Division of CICESE (Center for Scientific Research of Ensenada) in Ensenada, Mexico. The researchers intend to enhance the sensitivity of current laser methods for measuring both the non-linear refraction and absorption coefficients of materials. This will allow them to greatly expand the number of materials that can be studied for non- linear all-optical switching applications and, specifically, develop a computer controlled, fully automated improved scan techniques for routine measurement of optical properties of materials. The research will combine the CICESE Center's expertise in modeling propagation of laser beams in non-linear materials with experimental resources in Florida. The results from this research will have immediate applicability to the study of organic materials useful in the development of ultra-fast switching applications. ***
