This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $119,174 to Wichita State University supports research to explore thiophosphates as balanced middle-infrared nonlinear optical materials. Key objectives are to employ synthetic methods, achieve balanced nonlinear optical properties, understand electronic structures and bonding, and grow large crystals of these materials. The research aims to advance the understanding of structure-property relationships and uncover promising new middle-infrared nonlinear optical materials to replace current options with low laser damage thresholds and modest conversion efficiencies. The educational efforts under this award focus on incorporating the research into inorganic chemistry teaching, increasing diversity and inclusion in the research team, and engaging the public through outreach activities.
