ASSERT Proposal - FY 1997 Materials for Optical Memories, Signal Processing, and Frequency Standards
Abstract
The achievements of previous graduate and undergraduate students and the recent technical accomplishments in our DOD-funded projects are presented to justify support for two graduate research assistants, for graduate student presentation of results at national scientific meetings, and for two undergraduate research students. This is a physics/optics research program to supplement DEPSCoRAFOSR Contract Numbers F49620-94-1-0465 for Persistent Spectral Hole Burning Materials for Time-and Frequency-Domain Optical Memories and Signal Processing' and F49620-96-1-0466 for "Very-Narrow-Line Semiconductor Lasers and Optical Clocks Based on Spectral Hole Burning Frequency Standards." Facilities for hole burning and coherent transient research are available in our laboratory at Montana State University, a we have sixteen years of experience in this area, studying a variety of rare-earth activated materials. Our work is carried( in collaboration with Scientific Materials Corporation -- an AFOSR SBIR contractor, with Roger Macfarlane at IBM Almaden Research Center, with groups at the University of Oxford - UK, and with other groups in the US and France. Roger Mcfarlane at IBM is collaborating directly in the work proposed here.
