The second area of research that I will be setting up involves nonlinear optics and ultrashort optical pulses. With a sufficiently short optical pulse, the interaction of that pulse with another electromagnetic wave via a nonlinear coupling in an EO material can be made homogeneous. With a better design, shifting great enough to tune the color of the light pulse should be possible. This kind of frequency tuning is very rapid and may find use in both physics and engineering applications. GSAC Talks are held every Tuesday and Thursday evening in Loomis 358.
Physics graduate students to a wide variety of research areas and potential advisors.
All first-year graduate sudents are strongly encouraged to attend.
