DARPA Seeks Ultrafast Laser Science Proposals

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 13, 2012 — DARPA is looking to fund projects to develop ultrafast laser applications including microwave generation, optical time transfer, laser-driven secondary radiation generation and attosecond science through its Pulse (Program in Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering) basic research program. Advances in ultrafast pulsed lasers operating at optical wavelengths could benefit biomedical imaging, threat detection and more: The technology could coherently link radar on Navy ships at sea, improving the systems' range and resolution, allowing them to identify more distant objects and...Read full article

    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
