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

该奖项支持在固态系统动力学研究领域使用的仪器的升级。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。具体而言，将利用该仪器研究低温玻璃的时域和频域非线性光学实验、新型高温超导材料的超导机制以及极低温下分子单晶的极化动力学。所要求的设备包括一个带倍频器和q开关的锁模YAG激光器、两个染料激光器、两个Pockel电池、4个倍频器、2个染料激光器放大器、相关硬件、光学、电子和光学工作台。

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.
