Fundamental Studies of Nonlinear and Laser-plasma Phenomena in Gases and Solids Using High-power LWIR Lasers, ONR Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) 2017-22 in coordination with Program Chief Mr. Quentin Saulter
The MURI project is a collaborative effort led by Professor Chan Joshi and Dr. Sergei Tochitsky from University of California Los Angels (UCLA) and includes
  • University of Arizona (UA) - Professor's Jerry Moloney, Miroslav Kolesik
  • College of Optics and Photonics at UCF (CREOL) - Professor Konstantin Vodopyanov
  • University of Maryland (UM) - Professor's Howard Milchberg, Ki-Yong Kim and Phil Sprangle
  • Stony Brook University of NY (SUNY) - Professor Ilan Ben-Zvi
  • University of Michigan (UMich) - Professor's Igor Jovanovich, Almantas Galvanauskas and Karl Krushelnik
Four major tasks are
  1. LWIR Source Development
  2. Nonlinear Propagation Dynamics in the LWIR Window (8-15 µm)
  3. LWIR Filamentation in Air
  4. Laser-Plasma studies using LWIR pulses.
