The investigation of triple mode-locking mechanisms is continued,               including new dye combinations.  In addition, fabrication of a                  colliding-pulse mode-locked laser, with the purchase of a copper vapor          laser amplifier system is also anticipated.  The use of a                       fibre:grating-pair compressor is being considered to generate five              optical cycle pulses.  Research is continuing in the acousto-optic              interaction area.  Various anomalous effects involving the polarization         and wavelength of light incident onto y-cut, z-propagating L;iiN;ibO;i3         surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices have been theoretically                     investigated, both in the Bragg and Raman-Nath regimes.  Experiments            will be conducted on both SAW and bulk devices.  A careful study of the         diffraction efficiency dependence on p-polarized and s-polarized                incident light (at various wavelengths) is being undertaken, especially         as a function of deviation from Bragg angle and the internal confocal           gaussian beam parameter.
