Description

We are studying the use of light to probe and drive optomechanical systems for use in practical sensors and fundamental quantum measurement science. Our primary current research direction involves the use of diffractive elements with sub-wavelength periodicity (“high-contrast gratings”) as optomechanical elements. Such structures enable a rich variety of devices, including mirrors, polarizers, and filters in a configuration that couples naturally to free-space optics. We have optically cooled these devices to cryogenic temperatur...

Grantor Contact InformationJohn R. Lawall, Phone: 301.975.3226Grantor Emailjohn.lawall@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.
