Areas of Interest
Recent efforts in this optics laboratory include the developement of a combined spatial and temporal resolved optical microscope. Far sub-wavelength resolution is provided by geometrically confining light in a near-field optical microscope (NSOM). Temporal resolution is obtained with fast electronics or pulsed light. Results to date include images of carrier processes in silicon. Other efforts focus on sub-wavelength resolution Raman spectroscopy, which will become important in our studies of particulate matter from the air -- of current environmental concern. Dr. Hallen is also a member of the Precision Engineering Center.
