This Engineering Research Equipment Grant will provide partial funding for a Nd:YAG laser system, the remainder being provided by the University of Alaska. This purchase is part of a series of measures the University has undertaken which will establish a research program in the field of lasers and nonlinear optics at the Fairbanks campus. The University has demonstrated a strong financial commitment to the new program through the hiring of new research faculty, the construction of a new science facility, and the purchase of laboratory equipment. This laser system is the last major purchase necessary for the new nonlinear optics facility at UAF. The facility will be housed in the new Natural Sciences building upon its completion in spring 1993. Optical tables, electronic instrumentation and a host of optics hardware are already in place. Present inventory includes two Argon-ion lasers, a flashlamp-pumped dye laser, a nitrogen laser, and a nitrogen-pumped dye laser. The Nd:YAG laser will provide a much- needed source in the multi-megawatt range that is absolutely essential if we are to implement a research and instruction program in nonlinear optics. The Nd:YAG laser system will be used as a coherent light source for a number of different projects. These include development of new materials and techniques for tunable optical parametric oscillators and harmonic generation, and optical combustion diagnostics. In addition, the system will contribute to ongoing projects in thin film physics and the study of airborne pollutants in the Arctic.

这项工程研究设备拨款将为Nd:YAG激光系统提供部分资金，其余资金由阿拉斯加大学提供。此次购买是该大学采取的一系列措施的一部分，这些措施将在费尔班克斯校区建立激光和非线性光学领域的研究项目。通过聘用新的研究人员、建设新的科学设施、以及购买实验室设备。该激光系统是UAF新非线性光学设备的最后一次重大采购。该设施将于1993年春季完工后安置在新的自然科学大楼内。光学工作台、电子仪器和许多光学硬件已经到位。目前的库存包括两个氩离子激光器，一个闪光灯泵浦染料激光器，一个氮激光器和一个氮泵浦染料激光器。Nd:YAG激光器将提供一个非常需要的多兆瓦范围的光源，如果我们要实施非线性光学的研究和教学计划，这是绝对必要的。​Nd:YAG激光系统将被用作许多不同项目的相干光源。其中包括开发可调谐光学参量振荡器和谐波产生的新材料和技术，以及光学燃烧诊断。此外，该系统还将为正在进行的薄膜物理学项目和北极空气污染物研究做出贡献。
