Nonlinear Optical Studies of Polymer, Biomimetic, and Biological Interfaces

Description

Nonlinear optical techniques, such as vibrationally-resonant sum frequency spectroscopy (VR-SFS), are being increasingly applied to the study of biologically important problems. We have developed a novel approach to VR-SFS using ultrafast (< 50 femtosecond) lasers to generate infrared pulses that have a broad spectrum which enables us to obtain the entire vibrational spectrum of a sample in a single laser pulse, and with ultrafast time resolution. This spectroscopy is forbidden in isotropic bulk media (e.g., liquids, gases, and s...

Grantor Contact InformationKimberly A. Briggman, Phone: 303.497.7287Grantor Emailkbriggma@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
