Acquisition of a Femtosecond Laser System for Materials Characterization and Education
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for acquisition of a femtosecond laser system. The P.I., Professor Guillermo Bazan of the University of California-- Santa Barbara, will use the equipment to augment and enhance materials characterization. The femtosecond laser system allows for characterization of low damage threshold materials and investigation of photo-induced electron transfer, free carrier dynamics, and charge recombination in organic photovoltaic devices, OLEDs, semiconducting nanoparticles, and other novel materials with unique photo-electronic properties with potential Army and DOD applications.
