Lasers and Optical Science and Technology

STRATEGIC INITIATIVE

Advanced Multilayer Systems for National Security

Regina Soufli (17-SI-001)

&nbsp

We are developing an understanding of the physics of layer interfaces by investigating their physical and chemical properties, especially pertaining to ultrathin coatings on multilayer dielectric mirrors found in high-power laser systems.   >>

STRATEGIC INITIATIVE

Fabrication of Functionally Graded Optical Components Using Additive Manufacturing

Rebecca Dylla-Spears (16-SI-003)

&nbsp

Using additive manufacturing methods, we are investigating new classes of functionally graded optical materials with spatially tailored changes in properties.   >>
