NRL Nanoscale Photonics

Due: May 1, 2025

$99,200

Description

This program focuses on developing novel optoelectronic systems that are able to efficiently manipulate infrared light well-beyond the diffraction limit. Through these efforts we target enhancing and controlling how light interacts with nanoscale matter to greatly improve the sensitivity and selectivity of sensing technologies; lower the size, weight, and power (SWaP) of optical systems; and realize all-optical nanophotonic circuitry. To achieve this, we exploit the unique optical properties of nanostructured materials that suppo...

Grantor Contact InformationChase Trevor Ellis, 202 404 4279Grantor Emailchase.t.ellis.civ@us.navy.milOther 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.
