Semiconductor Optical Nonlinearities in the IR

Abstract

The goal of this research is to perform an experimental study of the nonlinear properties of semiconductors in the infrared spectral region to develop a fundamental understanding of their optical nonlinearities. This research will characterize the nonlinear response of promising materials, model the nonlinear response, design and model nonlinear optical switching systems, and build prototype switches. These materials are useful for a variety of important AF applications including sensor protection and infrared countermeasures.
