Welcome to the Mittleman group home page, in the ECE Department at Rice University. Our research interests are two-fold. Some of our work involves the generation and detection of single-cycle pulses of far-infrared radiation, which is accomplished with ultrafast laser pulses. This field, a subset of what is commonly known as ultrafast optoelectronics, is interesting because these far-IR (or terahertz) pulses access a range of the electromagnetic spectrum which is relatively unexplored. Others in the group study the properties of photonic crystals. These are materials with dielectric functions that vary periodically in space. This variation endows the crystals with unusual properties due to the strong diffraction of electromagnetic radiation. Please contact Dr. Mittleman if you have any questions or comments.
