Modern Optics.
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental research is being conducted in the field of modern optics. The goal is to contribute solutions for important specific problems in the generation, propagation, properties, and uses of coherent electromagnetic radiation. Research activities under AFOSR sponsorship are summarized in this final report for the period from 1968 through 1971. Subjects of research interest have been grouped into two main areas: (1) Holography and Optical Data Processing and (2) Nonlinear Optics. Specific topics in holography and optical data processing have included holographic stereograms, blurred image restoration, real time recording, and matched filtering. In nonlinear optics and lasers the studies include the origin of the nonlinear refractive index, infrared absorption and fluorescence, and saturation phenomena in magnetically tuned laser amplifiers.
