Optical Control of Polarization Conversion, Orbital Angular Momenta and HighHarmonic Generation in Terahertz Metamaterials
Abstract
Addressing the specific naval warfare need for advanced technologies in communications, networking and stealth, the objective of the proposed research is to design, fabricate and characterize optically-tuned terahertz (THz) metamaterials integrated with phase-change materials to develop fast, reliable and robust devices. Furthermore, this effort includes additional researchsupport from the Materials Science and Technology Division at the Naval Research Laboratory and the Metamaterials group at Naval Surface Warfare Center-Dahlgren aimed to engage postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate students from Howard University with new STEM career pathways for African-American students. In addition, the project will directlyintegrate the research into education and outreach activities such as the formation of a new course in ultrafast optics, a new symposium for HBCUs in optics and photonics and research experiences for undergraduates during the summer and academic year.
