Area of Research: Laser Spectroscopy and Nonlinear Optics
Nonlinear optics is arguably the most interesting field of research made possible by the
introduction of high-powered lasers. My primary research areas include:
- Atmospheric photochemistry -- the influence of parent vibration on decomposition
- Second harmonic generation in thin semiconductor films -- characterizing new materials
- Quantum entanglement -- the production and application of correlated photon pair states
