Femtosecond Optics: Advanced Devices and Ultrafast Phenomena
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate fundamental femtosecond-timescale phenomena in materials and devices. To evaluate the potential of these phenomena and structure for applications. To invent and demonstrate new devices for ultrafast optics. STATUS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Over the three years of this program we have made significant achievements in several areas: development of new femtosecond laser systems and ultrafast optical techniques; application of ultrafast optics to waveguide and fiber devices; designs and studies of novel materials and material structures. These are documented by 36 publications in refereed journals and 3 patent applications, a list of which is given at the end of this report.
