This research program will make use of the recently developed                   femtosecond lasers and optical techniques to study the ultrafast                processes in optical materials that have device implications.  The              objectives are:  (1) To measure the intraband relaxation rates of               nonequilibrium carriers in compound semiconductors using femtosecond            optical correlation spectroscopy, (2) To make a similar study of the            relaxation dynamics of hot carriers in multiple quantum well and                superlattice structures, (3) To determine the relaxation dynamics of            dye molecules that might be suitable for use in femtosecond dye                 lasers, (4) To extend the wavelenght range of femtosecond optical               correlation spectroscopy by including the hot luminescence in the               measurements.
