Pulsed Dye Laser Experiments in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory

本建议的目标是将现代光谱方法引入我们的物理化学实验课程。我们的建议的具体目标是：1)创建五个现代光谱实验基于脉冲染料激光系统；2)在大多数院校化学系的预算范围内指定一套仪器；3)将实验发展到可以被缺乏激光光谱学专业知识的教师采用的程度；4)让物理化学入门和高级实验室的学生接触到现代物理化学技术；5)通过在科学会议和出版物上的演讲，在地区和全国范围内传播我们项目的成果。

The goal of this proposal is to bring modern spectroscopic methods into our laboratory courses in physical chemistry. The specific aims of our proposal are: 1) to create five modern spectroscopic experiments based on a pulsed dye laser system; 2) to specify an instrument package that is within the budgetary reach of chemistry departments at most institutions; 3) to develop the experiments to the point that they can be adopted by instructors who lack prior expertise in laser spectroscopy; 4) to expose students in the introductory and advanced physical chemistry laboratories to modern techniques in physical chemistry; and 5) to communicate the results of our program both regionally and nationally through presentations at scientific meetings and publication.
