NIST Refractive Index Properties of Bulk and Nano-scale Materials from VUV to mid-IR

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Research opportunities are available for a wide range of practical and basic linear and nonlinear refractive index issues. The focus is on developing new concepts and measurement methods for characterization of index of refraction properties (index dispersion, dependence on stress and temperature, birefringence, nonlinear properties, etc.), for wavelengths in the range VUV – mid IR (0.12 - 15 microns). These include:interferometric methods; optical issues, such as symmetry-breaking effects of finite momentum at short wavelengths...

Grantor Contact InformationJohn H. Burnett, Phone: 301.975.2679Grantor Emailjohn.burnett@nist.govOther Grantor InformaitonThe 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.
