Chemical Applications of Lasers Workshop

詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学将为学院和大学教职员工提供为期一周的研讨会。研讨会的重点是激光及其在解决化学问题上的应用。课程将包括为期一周的激光技术理论和实际应用的密集展示，这些领域是所有化学分支感兴趣的领域。课程将包括：(1)关于激光的基本原理及相关主题的讲座；(2)阐明讲座中所述原理的实验室实验；(3)关于当前激光在化学有趣问题上的应用的讲座和实验室实验；以及(4)参与参与者感兴趣的特殊项目的机会，该项目的技术将可传输到参与者所在的机构。这个工作坊的一个主要特点是提供适合本科生学习的激光技术。除了NSF的资金外，参与者的机构还将提供约25%的旅费。

James Madison University will offer a week-long workshop for college and university faculty. The workshop will focus on lasers and their application to solving chemical problems. The offering will consist of a one week intensive exposure to both the theory and practical application of laser technology to areas of interest to all branches of chemistry. The course will include (1) lectures on the fundamentals of lasers and related topics, (2) laboratory experiments to illustrate the principles presented in lectures, (3) lectures and laboratory experiments dealing with current applications of lasers to chemically interesting problems, and (4) an opportunity to engage in a special project of interest to the participant, the technology of which will be transportable to the participant's home institution. A major feature of this workshop is to provide exposure to laser technology at a level appropriate for incorporation at the undergraduate level. In addition to the NSF funds, participants' institutions will provide about 25% in travel expenses.
