Analysis and Evaluation of Technical Data on the Photochromic and Non-Linear Optical Properties of Materials

Abstract

The primary purpose of this relatively small contractual effort is to provide technical support to DARPA and CNVEO at Fort Belvoir in evaluating and assessing data on materials, especially polymers, that may be useful in the development of optical limiters and switches. The Principal Investigator was appointed by the former DARPA program manager for this project to be part of an ad hoc Technical Advisory Committee. Due to changes in the overall direction of the program, this committee has not formally met during this quarter. Keywords: Optics, Materials, Ablative mirror-fuse system, Optical device, Ablative polymer layer, Photochromic and non-linear optical properties.
