Renat R. Letfullin
Summary
Renat R. Letfullin is a faculty member in the Department of Physics and Optical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He is also Founder and Director of the Nanomedicine program at Radiological Technologies University. Dr. Letfullin has made outstanding contributions to the fields of wave and quantum optics, lasers, aerosol physics and nanoscience, including nanooptics and nanobiotechnology. He is an outstanding theoretician and experimentalist in the fields of optics and kinetics of chemical pulsed lasers, and during the past decade has branched out into biophotonics and nanomedicine. He has discovered new phenomena and scientific effects in these fields, where examples include: effect of diffractive multifocal focusing of plane and spherical waves, effect of giant laser energy gain, the autowave of a new type – self-supporting photon-branched chain reaction, and effect of focusing of de Broglie matter-waves. He has carried out an extensive array of studies in nanoscience, including laser heating and evaporation of nanostructures and optical properties of nanoparticles. He has developed and designed new self-contained laser systems with multimega joule output energy per pulse,
optical reactor for efficient laser processing of dispersed materials, phase technique for optical diagnostics of small particles, and new diffractive atom lens. His latest achievements are in the field of nanophotonics and nanomedicine, including discoveries of a plasmon explosion
