Laser Spectroscopy in Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Laboratory

尽管激光已经彻底改变了许多实验领域， 物理化学，本科物理化学 实验室基本不变。 该项目介绍了 激光和激光光谱学的本科物理 化学实验室 灵活的设备，包括氩气 离子泵浦染料激光器和大学生光谱仪 物理化学实验室将使拉曼 实验，激光诱导荧光实验，激光- 激发/分子吸收实验和激光 折光实验 这些实验已经 由不同的作者描述。 其他激光光谱学 可以开发实验并将其纳入 课程。 受资助者将匹配NSF的贡献， 这个项目来自非联邦来源。

Although lasers have revolutionized many areas of experimental physical chemistry, the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory is essentially unchanged. This project introduces lasers and laser spectroscopy to the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory. Flexible equipment including an argon ion pumped dye laser and a spectrometer for the undergraduate physical chemistry laboratory will make possible a Raman experiment, a laser induced fluorescence experiment, a laser- excitation/molecular absorption experiment, and a laser refractometry experiment. These experiments have been described by various authors. Other laser spectroscopy experiments may be developed and incorporated into the curriculum. The grantee will match the NSF contribution to this project from non-Federal sources.
