The University of Dayton Research Institute was awarded a $403,741 Project Grant from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800). The grant will support the development of a tunable mid wave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) laser for research in MWIR and LWIR materials and applications from September 30, 2021 to September 29, 2022. The Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program aims to maintain technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to Air Force needs through foundational research in areas such as electronics, physics and materials science. This award will advance that mission by providing researchers with a new tunable laser capable of studying MWIR and LWIR materials critical to national security technologies.
