Ultrafast Laser System for Transient Analysis
Abstract
The principle investigator (PI) proposes to acquire an ultrafast laser system with two independently tunable outputs (ultra violet – near infrared) and a variable repetition rate, under the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP). The proposed acquisition of the research instrument will advance the research outcome of the on-going work on exciton-mechanic interactions supported by Air Force Office of Scientific Research (16-RT1256), by improving the current research facility that will enable access to regimes presently beyond the experimental scope of the lab. The laser system is also needed for generating travelling elastic waves based on the principle of thermoacoustic actuation. Generation of such waves are integral to the success of studying the exchange of energies in a coupled exciton-mechanics system. Moreover, the acquisition will create a local ultrafast spectroscopy facility that will be accessible to other research groups. Such a facility will help train students in cutting edge characterization techniques that will develop advanced skill sets potentially useful for progressing DoD’s research capabilities. The discussion in the proposal is limited to acquiring the laser system leading to the enhancement of current characterization capabilities aiding the ongoing as well as future research.
