Key words for expertise:
atmospheric optics, optical turbulence, aerosols, imaging systems, modulation transfer function, mm wave imaging, terahertz imaging, night vision, thermal imaging.
Vision for participation in the QI center:
The QI Center should have a broad system engineering approach, including effects of turbulence-induced tilt and aerosol scatter induced changes in photon direction and communication reliability.
