Purchase of High Power Tunable Laser System

一台ND：YAG染料激光系统为化学家提供了一种强大的、连续可调的、高度单色的光源，其范围是任何其他光源所不具备的。这种仪器使化学家能够使用光谱的红外和紫外区进行最先进的分子光谱研究。弗吉尼亚大学化学系将利用化学共享仪器计划的这一奖项，帮助获得带有倍频器、染料激光器附件和波长扩展器的脉冲YAG激光器。该仪器将加强以下领域的化学研究：1)金属络合物的光化学和光物理2)镧系元素的光学光谱3)磁性圆二向色性和新的基质隔离源。

A Nd:YAG-dye laser system offers the chemist a source of powerful, continuously tunable, highly monochromatic light over a range that is not available with any other source. This instrumentation allows chemists to perform state-of-the-art research in molecular spectroscopy using both the infrared and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. The Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia will use this award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program to help acquire a pulsed YAG laser with frequency multipliers, a dye laser attachment, and wavelength extenders. The instrumentation will enhance chemical research in the following areas: 1) Photochemistry and photophysics of metal complexes 2) Lanthanide optical spectroscopy 3) Magnetic circular dichroism and new matrix isolation source.
