CAREER: Frontiers of nonlinear optics: interdisciplinary approach to research and education

提出了一种研究非线性光学相互作用的新方法。 这种方法是基于最近开发的光脉冲整形方法，自适应学习实验和先进的光脉冲形状表征技术。 为评价这一新的非线性光学研究方向，提出了二次谐波产生、光参量放大和非线性光脉冲在光纤中传输的初步实验。 跨学科的教育和研究方法代表了PI职业发展的战略方向。 一个独特的研究环境，其目的是跨学科和interinstitutional合作，将促进本科生和研究生的教育和培训。

A novel approach to study nonlinear optical interactions is proposed. This approach is based on recently developed methods for optical pulse shaping, adaptive learning experiment and advanced optical pulse shape characterization techniques. Initial experiments on second harmonic generation, optical parametric amplification and nonlinear optical pulse propagation in optical fibers are suggested for evaluation of this new direction of nonlinear optical studies. Interdisciplinary approach to education and research represents the strategic direction of PI's career development. A unique research environment, which aims interdisciplinary and interinstutitional collaboration, will promote the education and training of undergraduate and graduate students.
