Acquisition of a nanosecond ultra-broadly tunable mid-IR laser system for time-resolved investigation of the nonlinear interaction of MIR plasmonics and low-dimensional material systems

Abstract

The proposal is to acquire a nanosecond MIRcat-QT™ rapid-scan, ultra-broadly tunable mid-IR (MIR) tunable laser system from Daylight Solutions, Inc. for several DOD funded and future research projects, including the investigation of the time-resolved nonlinear interaction between surface plasmonics and quantum dot (QD) heterostructures and the time-domain photoelectron transportation process, adaptive highly dynamic multispectral sensing and imaging, optical antenna enhanced nonlinear optics in QD nanostructures, mid-IR optical communication, and non-Hermitian MIR systems.
