Intracavity Laser Dynamics and Diverse Waveform Generation
Sensors Directorate, RY/Sensors Division
This research primarily focuses on manipulating light within laser cavities in order to generate diverse waveforms outside of the laser. We are also interested in using nonlinear wave mixing to synthesize diverse waveforms. Work is currently being conducted experimentally using multi-section quantum-dot lasers, computationally by solving systems of partial differential equations based on traveling-wave models, and analytically through the use of delay differential equations. Opportunities exist to contribute to one or more of the different areas (theory, experiment, simulations), depending on background and interest level.
Experience Supplement
Postdoctoral and Senior awardees will receive an appropriately higher stipend based on the number of years of experience past their PhD.
Awardees who reside more than 50 miles from their host laboratory and remain on tenure for at least six months are eligible for paid relocation to within the vicinity of their host laboratory.
A group health insurance program is available to awardees and their qualifying dependents in the United States.
