Abstract
Optodynamics is a new interdisciplinary research field which has been established in Slovenia and has made its influence progressively felt in the international environment. Its basic scientific premise is that the dynamic aspects of the interaction between light and matter are essential to the understanding of laser-induced motion of material, which is the heart of most laser processes and modalities in laser-based medicine. Another important scientific starting-point follows from the finding that the laser-induced acoustic waves and other dynamic responses of the matter are an important source of information about the light-matter interaction. Therefore, their simultaneous detection and analysis provides the means for an effective control mainly over the pulsed laser processes.   We expect that, based on the results of the program Optodynamics, a scientific breakthrough in the knowledge of dynamic aspects of the light-matter interaction will be achieved in the next five years. The recent discovery of proposed program group researchers on the characteristics of mechanical waves induced due to reflection of light is the basis for the important progress in resolving the century-old Abraham-Minkowski dilemma in relation to the momentum of light in transparent media. Fundamental research in optodynamics will also lead to new applied research and shall facilitate their high innovation and continuous development. The program will also enable the development of new approaches in the research of (i) laser-induced mass transfer; (ii) manipulation of the nano particles; (iii) microfluidics; (iv) laser space propulsion; (v) laser micro- and nano-processing; and (vi) laser-based non-destructive testing and its transfer into practice. Since optodynamics is also the basis of all laser medical applications, the program will also be focused on further development and optimization of new, more effective and safer medical laser systems, where program group members have already achieved excellent applicative results. The program Optodynamics is aimed at the fundamental research which leads to the strengthening of the position of Slovenian laser equipment manufacturers, their suppliers, integrators of these systems and their end-users in the international market. All this can be achieved with the help of the program group that connects excellent researchers in interdisciplinary areas and in addition to the University includes all relevant industrial partners in Slovenia. The results of the program will systematically migrate to the masters and doctoral education programs at the University of Ljubljana, while the implementation of the program will include several young researchers.
Significance for science
The proposed program Optodynamics includes basic research, which is highly focused on the development of laboratory concepts and applied research with added value for the end users. Thus, its contribution to the development of science is multifaceted. Under the auspices of the basic research within optodynamics, the program group members have recently discovered and confirmed several physical mechanisms of the light-matter interaction. Recently, they have also developed the corresponding detection methods that allow for experimental validation of the still-unanswered areas of fundamental theory of electromagnetism. Therefore, this field is expected to develop into new research areas, which will be created by continuing the study of elastic waves, induced exclusively by light pressure. Here, the mechanism governing the formation of the waves is the direct transfer of momentum from light to the material, while the change in energy of the light is imperceptible. Within these new surveys, we shall develop novel calibrated detection methods for the observation of picometer-large mechanical displacements. We expect that further development of new areas in this field will be oriented both in the basic as well as in the applied research. The latest results have considerable potential for fundamental understanding of the interaction between the electromagnetic waves and solid dielectrics, since the light-pressure-induced elastic waves are the prime indicators of spatial discontinuities of the refractive index and a potential candidate for clarification of the centuries-old Abraham-Minkowski controversy about the size of the momentum of light in the transparent dielectrics. In the field of applied research, the light-pressure-induced elastic waves give rise to a completely non-destructive testing of materials and form the basis of the new, globally emerging research on pure-photon laser propulsion. The previous basic research of the light-matter interaction has already led, in collaboration with industry, to novel applied research. The results of this research have already been confirmed in the laboratory environment. We expect that the proposed program will have opened new areas within applied sciences, which will allow further development of new approaches in laser-induced mass transfer; manipulation of nanoparticles; microfluidics; laser micro- and nano-machining; laser-based non-destructive testing and in the research of laser space propulsion. The results of this part of the proposed program will strengthen those areas of modern applied science which are necessary for technological breakthroughs in the above mentioned areas. The proposed program also includes the optodynamics of laser medical procedures that involves the research into safer and more effective modalities in laser medicine. The current excellent results and experience within the present work on the project and the ongoing cooperation with the Slovenian industry and the medical profession allow us to make a breakthrough also in this field of applied science. Therefore, in the context of the proposed program, we expect to develop new and improve the existing medical treatments using lasers. The scientific results of the proposed program will be published in distinguishable international journals and presented at international conferences. This will lead to new scientific integration in the international arena and thus multiply the effects of the results obtained in the development of science in the world. The research of optodynamics will be also included in the educational programs of the University through masters and doctoral theses. The achieved scientific results will be included in the development of the educational content of the masters and doctoral studies. All of this will enhance the further development of knowledge and open up additional possibilities for the development of new research areas both in the basic as well as in the applied science.
Significance for the country
Direct importance of the program for the economy and social activities The proposed program joins together researchers, employed at the University, with researcher from the industry. This allows efficient direct transfer of knowledge from the University to companies and thereby increases their competitiveness on the global market. This will be achieved primarily due to the interinstitutionally and interdisciplinary setup of the program group. In addition, the success of the participating industries is dependent primarily on the knowledge, while the ability of large investments in production is less important.   The companies that are involved in the research program are among the rare Slovenian companies that sell their products to the end users under their own brand and achieve significant sales share in the global market on their narrow areas. As global competition in this field is very strong, the transfer of contemporary knowledge into the industrial environments is essential to maintain their leading role in the world. Given the extremely close relationship between the University and the participating companies, it is estimated that the resulting insights will, in terms of interdisciplinary, significantly contribute to the development of the most advanced laser systems for processing and medicine. This program will also significantly contribute to the creation of new, high added-value jobs, which require qualified personnel. It is also important that the industrial partners may anticipate new innovative solutions that can be protected in an international environment. The program is predominantly oriented towards finding and providing the technological advantages of the participating companies on the global market. We expect that the results of the proposed program will significantly strengthen the position of the laser equipment manufacturers, their suppliers, system integrators and their end-users in the international market. In addition, the same results have the potential to underpin the position of the University as the institution of knowledge. In the framework on the proposed program, it will help to deliver new and more innovative approaches in the field of laser manufacturing and other processes, and laser medical systems to the collaborating industrial partners. Indirect importance for society The results of the scientific research will be transferred to the development of educational content of master and PhD courses at Slovenian universities. Individual topics will, in the form of study practice and masters and doctoral theses, further integrate the educational and research work at the University and, as such, increase its quality. This will provide students a better environment for their training and consequently make them more attractive to employers after the end of their studies, which will significantly reduce the time from the completion of their studies to their first job position. This will further reinforce the position of the University which is an institution of knowledge. As a result, the members of the program group should find better chances for inclusion in the Slovenian and European industrial projects. This will lead to multiplying effects in the acquisition of new knowledge and their transfer into practice. The development of optodynamics as a new scientific field, which originates from Slovenia, is also important to promote the country and strengthen the reputation of Slovenia in the world. The achieved program results, disseminated in the form of invited lectures at foreign universities and on scientific, professional and press conferences, will enhance the reputation of the participating University and Slovenia in the world, because we will be recognized as the leaders in many areas, being opened by optodynamics. Since the proposed program will significantly contribute to the international recognition of Slovenian knowledge, it will also increase the possibility of including program grou
