Structured Light Propagation for Remote Photoacoustic Interactions
Abstract
In this proposal we plan to test and evaluate the propagation of structured light in a realistic maritime environment with the application toward the photoacoustic effect. Not only will the fundamental propagation properties be explored, but also the light/matterinteraction after propagation. This will be performed using a continuous wave (CW) laser at 1908 nm and with a Q-switched pulsed laser at 2090 nm. Both temporal regimes have shown promise regarding the generation of underwater sound. However, their propagation characteristics have not been properly explored. This proposal will develop a fundamental understanding of the propagation characteristics of these structured light sources at ~2 microns along with their light/matter interaction properties after propagation.
