Research in the Optical Sciences

Abstract

This report decribes the research and results of the activity on various projects over the period of the grant. The optics of study include atom optics and matter-wave quantum point contacts, theory of optical refrigeration of semiconductors and nonlinear optical response of quantum well Bragg structures, tuneable high-brightness vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers and generation of blue-green lasers by frequency doubling, quantum dots for cavity QED entanglement, near-field nonlinear optics, and optically bound matter. The project supports student research and generates opportunities for scientific publications. The projects involve interaction with colleagues and DOD laboratories and supports in-house Army and Air Force research efforts to develop optics technology relevant to military applications.
