The goal of this project is to assemble the essential components of a versatile laser spectrometer to enable students of physical chemistry to carry out experiments in Raman spectroscopy, time-resolved absorption spectroscopy, and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The total system includes both a pulsed Nd:YAG laser and a dye laser, as well as a monochromator, a signal processor, and a laboratory computer to store and analyze the data. The spectrometer will be used to introduce students to several phenomena and techniques which are important to current research in chemistry. These include (a) principles and applications of lasers, (b) techniques for measuring very fast processes, (c) manipulation of a sophisticated optical-electronic system, and (d) computer interfacing and control of experiments. This system will also provide an opportunity for chemistry majors to use state-of-the art laser equipment for independent research projects. An important outcome of this project will be the eventual publication of a variety of well-tested, documented experiments for undergraduates using state-of-the-art laser systems. Thus this project can serve as a national model, and contribute to the improvement of chemistry education on the national level.

该项目的目标是组装一个 多功能激光光谱仪，使物理化学的学生， 开展拉曼光谱、时间分辨吸收 光谱法和时间分辨荧光光谱法。 总 系统包括脉冲Nd：YAG激光器和染料激光器，以及 单色仪，信号处理器和实验室计算机存储 分析数据 光谱仪将用于介绍 学生的几个现象和技术，这是重要的， 化学的最新研究。 这些原则包括：（a）原则和 激光的应用，（B）用于非常快速测量的技术 过程，（c）操纵一个复杂的光学电子 系统，和（d）计算机接口和实验控制。 这 系统还将为化学专业学生提供一个使用 为独立研究项目提供最先进的激光设备。 一个 这一项目的重要成果将是最终出版一份 各种经过良好测试的，记录在案的实验，为本科生使用 最先进的激光系统 因此，该项目可以作为一个 国家模式，并有助于改善化学教育 在国家一级。
