Optical Amplification and Nonlinear Optical Processes in Random Scattering Media
Abstract
The objective of the research program was to investigate nonlinear optical phenomena and optical amplification and lasing in highly scattering active and non-active random media. The aim of research was to develop a deeper fundamental understanding of light propagation in active random media for future generation of optical display, imaging techniques and laser devices. Two photon excited fluorescence and second harmonic generation tomographic imaging of biomedical tissues were demonstrated. Lasing and optical amplification from dyed active turbid media and biological tissues were explored. A feedback mechanism from scattering walls was proposed to describe lasing characteristics in random media. We have published 12 papers and submitted two patent applications.
