Main fields of research
Optically pumped gas lasers (photochemical lasers): new mechanisms of laser action, problem of beam quality improvement, open discharge based optical pumping sources, photochemical amplifiers of femtosecond optical pulses, noise-proof selective optical quantum amplifiers of extremely week signals and images. Near-field optics: nonuniform multi-connected optical wave guides, subwavelength focusing of laser radiation, surface-enhanced Raman scattering by metal nanoparticles, optical surface waves with wave lengths in a ten nanometer range. Quantum theory of scattering in few-body systems of both neutral and charged particles: threshold phenomena and resonance states; application of quantum theory of scattering to the calculation of the real processes in nuclear, atomic and molecular physics.
