Chromophores and Solvents for Quasi-Phase Matched Difference Frequency Generation in Liquid Filled Fibers
Abstract
Professors Seth Marder and Stephen Barlow propose a program whereby we will work with Air Force Research Laboratory researchers and their collaborators – specifically Dr. Christian Keyser and co-workers – to assist in their research on nonlinear optics, specifically on quasi-phase matched difference frequency generation in liquid filled fibers. Both PI and co-PI have extensive experience in the design and synthesis of organic (and metal-organic) chromophores for a wide variety of nonlinear optical applications including frequency doubling, electrooptic switching, two-photon absorption, all-optical switching, and optical limiting. They propose to utilize this experience to advise the program of Dr. Christian Keyser and co-workers on quasi-phase matched difference frequency generation in liquid filled fibers, specifically regarding the selection of chromophores and solvents. In particular, they will advise on aspects including but not limited to: the linear and nonlinear optical properties of chromophores, and how they relate to structural features such as bond-length alternation; the feasibility of synthesizing target chromophores; and the likely chemical, photochemical, and thermal stability of the chromophores.
