Joint Services Optics Program. Research in the Optical Sciences

Abstract

This report describes research on eight different projects ranging from fundamental quantum optics to optical engineering. Topics discussed include the following: Study of magnetoexciton femtosecond spectroscopy, semiconductor microcavities, and periodic structures, ion trapping and quantum transport in optical lattices, quantum atom optics, design optimization of circular grating DBR lasers, coherent and incoherent ultrafast nonlinear optical processes in anisotropically strained semiconductor quantum wells, portable MWIR computed tomography imaging spectroscopy, and the numerical modeling of nonlinear optical frequency conversion. The JSOP program supported more than 25 graduate students and resulted in more than 115 publications and 4 patent disclosures. Some of the projects involved interactions with colleagues and DoD laboratories such as the Army Research Labs and Redstone Arsenal. University/industry interactions on these projects occurred through direct collaboration with colleagues at several companies including Raytheon and Motorola and through participation in the Center for Optoelectronic Devices, Interconnects and Packaging.
