New Principles of Laser-Based Radiation an Particle Sources

Abstract

Since this AFOSR grant started on January 1, 1999, a number of new results were obtained by this PI and his group in the field of nonlinear optics and quantum electronics, in the following directions: 2.i. Continuing pioneering research on sub-femtosecond pulses and physics with them, in particular 6-ionization by super-short pulses and discovery of so called area resonances in ionization of quantum wells by sub-cycle field pulses 2.ii. Pilot pioneering research on nuclear gamma optics, in particular three-photon photon-nuclear fission 2.iii. Continuing pioneering collaborative research on fundamental new phenomenon of multi-mode interference in quantum mechanics, in particular highly regular pattern formation by 8-excited wave functions. 2.iv. Discovery and study of novel effect of field-gradient-induced second-harmonic generation in nonlinear optics of vacuum. 2.v. Preliminary research on new perspective directions.
