| reg no: | ETF6547 |
| project type: | Estonian Science Foundation research grant |
| status: | accepted |
| institution: | University of Tartu |
| head of project: | Peeter Saari |
| duration: | 01.01.2005 - 31.12.2008 |
| description: | By its content the planned research is theoretical, with some experimental part. The fields it belongs to are wave optics (incl. Fourier optics) and ultrafast optics -- generation and application of ultrashort laser pulses. The purpose of the project is to develope further study and applications of so-called localized waves -- wavepackets that do not spread in linear media -- and to make use of the results for some intriguing problems recently found in quantum optics. A by-product of the project will hopefully be 2 Ms.Sci. degrees and 1 Ph.D degree. |
