Acquisition of Instrumentation for the Study of Dynamics in Solid State Systems

该奖项支持用于固态系统动力学研究领域的仪器升级。目前正在研究固体中动力学和分子间相互作用的基本问题。特别是用时频域光学非线性实验来研究低温玻璃的动力学，用瞬变光栅实验来研究高温超导新材料的超导机制，以及分子单晶在极低温度下的极化动力学。所要求的设备包括一台带倍频和Q开关的锁模YAG激光器、两台染料激光器、两个Pockel小室、四个倍频器、两个染料激光器的放大器、相关的硬件、光学、电子学和一个光学工作台。

This award supports the upgrade of instrumentation used in the research area of dynamics of solid state systems. Fundamental problems in dynamics and intermolecular interactions in solids are currently studied. Specifically, dynamics in low temperature glasses probed with time domain and frequency domain optical nonlinear experiments, the mechanism of superconductivity in the new high temperature superconducting materials, and polariton dynamics in molecular single crystals at very low temperatures probed with transient grating experiments will be studied with the proposed instrumentation. The requested equipment includes a mode-locked YAG laser with frequency doubler and Q-switch, two dye lasers, two Pockel cells, 4 doublers, 2 amplifiers for the dye lasers, associated hardware, optics, electronics and an optical bench.
