Research
+–Development of Research Laboratories and Research Experience:
To farther the research capability of the University of Dhaka, a modern research laboratory had been developed (2005) as the Centre for Advanced Research in Sciences, (Centre of Excellence) in the University of Dhaka, with financial support of the Government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh and Japan Debit Cancellation Fund (JDCF) with my initiative and direct supervision when I was the Pro-Vice Chancellor of the university of Dhaka .
Established the Modern Optics and Laser laboratory and introduced the courses on laser physics (in 1984) at undergraduate and post graduate levels in the physics department of the University of Dhaka.
Research activities:
The latest research interest:- Laser Spectroscopy: Laser- induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) using Nd:YAG laser with harmonic generation up to fourth order, Czerney-Turner monochromator and Gated and Intensified CCD.
- Laser-induced plasma characterization using spectroscopic techniques.
- Laser Raman Spectroscopy (LRS) and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) using HeNe laser, Ar ion Laser, Diode laser, Czerney-Turner monochromator and non-intensified and non-gated CCD and nanoparticles.
- Study of Nanoparticles: Production of nanoparticles by Laser Ablation Technique and their characterization by UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
Major areas of research involvement in the past:
Nuclear Physics: Inelastic scattering of neutrons by 165 Ho and 89Y nuclei by using the Dhaka 3 MeV Van de Graaff Accelerator, 512 multi-channel analyser and NaI (Tl) scintillation detector.
Solid-state spectroscopy (both theory and experiment): Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy,
optical (UV, ViS & IR) and Mossbauer spectroscopy of 3dn ions doped in SrO and MgTiO3 crystals and theoretical and experimental study of Off-Centre behaviour of transition metal ions in SrO. Energy levels of some transition metal ions in different charge states in different crystalline environments were also calculated theoretically.
Ionic thermo-current measurements: Mn Doped NaCl crystals.
Laser Physics: (a) Coherent light generation by lasing: design, fabrication and operation of a moderate power N2 laser,
(b)design, fabrication and operation of a dual frequency dye laser oscillator-amplifier system using a XeCl Excimer laser.
Study of Non-linear Optics: (a) Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS), Four Photon Mixing (FPM), Stimulated Four Photon Mixing (SFPM) in optical fibres using Excimer lasers and Optical Multi-channel Analyser (OMA), (b) SRS in pressurized H2 gas, (c) Theoretical and Experimental Study of Laser Raman Fibre Oscillator-Amplifier system using Excimer lasers.
Study on Holography: Recording and reconstruction of Holograms (3-D images) using HeNe laser and Diode Lasers.
Study on Optical signal processing: Image processing and character identification using Fourier transform techniques and spatial filters.
Fibre Optics: Optical fibre characterization, refractive index profile measurement by interferometric method and calculation of optical fibre bandwidth and study of elementary optical communication.
Soliton propagation in optical fibres (Theoretical).
Study on Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI): Measurement of In-Plane motions and micro Rotations and micro deformation of surfaces.
Research Supervision:
Research work of a number of M.S., M.Phil. and Ph.D.(one, thesis not yet submitted) students in different areas of
Physics such as:
Experimental solid state Physics: Transport properties.
Design and operation of high power pulsed nitrogen laser.
Coherent optical signal processing by spatial filtering.
