Four argon ion lasers are the primary source of energy for femtosecond laser research in our laboratories, as well as for numerous instructional graduate experiments. Each of these lasers have an annual usage in excess of 3,000 hours, which exceeds the lifetime of these older type laser tubes, predating the metal-ceramic technology, and therefore, each laser requires an annual tube replacement. This Research Equipment Grant is for a conversion of the two spectra physics 171 argon laser to the 2030T-20 metal-ceramic laser head, and replacement of a smaller laser by a single 2020 5W argon ion laser. These lasers will continue to be used for pumping femtosecond dye lasers, a parametric oscillator, and serve as primary source for 9 instructional experiments. The main thrust of the research is nonlinear optics of thin films and interfaces.

四个氩离子激光器是飞秒激光器的主要能量来源。 我们实验室的激光研究，以及许多 指导性研究生实验 这些激光器中的每一个都有一个 年使用时间超过3,000小时，超过了 这些老式的激光管，早于金属陶瓷技术， 因此每个激光器需要每年更换管。 这 研究设备补助金用于转换两种光谱 物理171氩激光器到2030 T-20金属陶瓷激光头，以及 用单个2020 5 W氩离子激光器替换较小的激光器。 这些激光器将继续用于泵浦飞秒染料 激光器，参量振荡器，并作为主要来源9 教学实验 这项研究的主旨是 薄膜和界面的非线性光学。
