Laser and Stand-off Spectroscopy Quantum and Statistical Optics

Abstract

In the present work, we extended the results of our earlier research in the realm of quantum optics in order to solve the challenging technical problems of importance for the war fighter and homeland security. Specifically, we conducted a broad theoretical and experimental study of new methods of generation of coherence and explored new forms of coherence which were found in order to develop technology in areas, where we have unique expertise, to solve current problems associated with national security and need. For example, we further developed our FAST CARS techniques and standoff detection schemes based on super radiance to allow for the possibility of detecting biochemical pathogens and explosives in the air via real time stand off spectroscopy. We also explored more efficient methods of generation XUV based on quantum coherence.
