The goal of this research is to develop innovative new theoretical and applied techniques, and to demonstrate their utility in providing technology paths for achieving next-generation system requirements.
Experimental and theoretical research focuses on new detector development in the ultraviolet to mm-wave wavelength range (currently specializing in infrared [IR] and longer); new detector capabilities such as wavelength tunability and polarization discrimination; and detector interactions with external electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields.
Recently, we have initiated two entirely new experiments: First, laser photolysis of a suitable precursor generates AO in the presence of various collider species (e.g., proxy compounds for missile fuels and chemical weapons) and time-resolved Fourier transform spectrometry is used to detect the resultant IR emissions.
