Optical Characterization Project (ID#:2011008)

 

The Research Participation Program for The U. S. Army Aviation and
Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), a
subordinate laboratory to the Research, Development and Engineering
Command (RDECOM), is the Army's focal point for providing research,
development, and engineering technology and services for aviation and
missile platforms across the lifecycle. AMRDEC has a long history of
providing unparalleled service to its aviation and missile customers,
while always striving to provide the greatest service to its ultimate
customer, the warfighter, by providing technology and weapon system
solutions to ensure his/her victory on the battlefield. AMRDEC provides
a wide array of technologies, hardware and software applications, and
products and services that run the gamut from game-changing technologies
to detect and destroy threats, enhance performance, lethality,
survivability and reliability of aviation and missile systems, along
with programs to miniaturize missile and aircraft components, provide
modeling and simulation applications for these technologies and systems,
and the associated training applications. Project areas disciplines
include Physics, Engineering (Aerospace, Computer, Electrical,
Mechanical), and Physical Chemistry.

 

PROJECT DETAILS

 

*            Research will focus on the ultrafast optical
characterization of excitation and relaxation dynamics in wide bandgap
semiconductor heterostructures. 

*            Areas of research will include: ultraviolet and visible
wavelength continuous-wave and time-resolved optical characterization of
III-nitride and II-oxide heterostructures and nanostructures;
investigations of energy transfer in rare earth-doped wide bandgap
semiconductors; cavity, plasmonic, and photonic band engineered
modification of emission properties; and selected investigations of
infrared materials with narrow bandgaps. 

*            Research will involve time-resolved photoluminescence and
pump-probe techniques from 1.5-300K using a broadly tunable (200 nm - 12
micron) optical parametric amplifier driven by a 1 kHz regenerative
amplifier seeded by a mode locked Ti:Sapphire laser.

 

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

 

Applicants should have a Doctoral Degree in Physics, Electrical
Engineering, or Physical Chemistry within the last five years, or
completion of all requirements for the degree should be expected on or
about the starting date. Other applicants will be considered on a
case-by-case basis.  The program is open to all qualified U.S. Citizens,
Permanent Residents, and J1 or F1 Visa Holders without regard to race,
sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national
origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran.
