First Optics and Laser Laboratory at CSULB

Abstract

The proposal requested for the acquisition of a tunable titanium-sapphire continuous wave (CW) and an ultrafast pulsed laser systems for establishing the first optics and laser laboratory at CSULB. The laboratory will provide both theoretical modeling tools (finite-difference time-domain and COMSOL Multiphysics) as well as experimental measurement tools for the design, development, characterization, and demonstration of optical systems and devices. The requested lasers will enable us to probe various optical phenomena in the ultraviolet(UV), visible (Vis), and near infrared (NIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The research program will explore a broad range of optical phenomenon with applications ranging from optical communications to bio/chemical sensing. As such, a coherent, tunable, and intense light source is a fundamental requirement for the execution of the research and training programs at CSULB.
