High Power Tunable Infrared Laser

化学研究仪器和设施项目的这一奖项将帮助哥伦比亚大学化学系购买可调谐红外激光光源。该设备将用于以下研究领域：(1)半导体探测激光技术；(2)热原子激发多原子振动态；(3)半导体激光探测高能与NO2和二氧化碳之间的碰撞；(4)反应动力学的运动控制；(5)绘制多道多原子反应中的反应坐标；(6)绘制多原子反应中的反应坐标；(7)多光子红外激发。可调谐的红外激光可以提供有关化学反应的重要信息。它的使用可能使我们对分子的反应性和非反应性的性质的理解有所突破。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at Columbia University in the purchase of a tunable IR laser source. This equipment will be used in the following areas of research: (1) The Diode Probe Laser Technique; (2) Hot Atom Excitation of Polyatomic Vibrational States; (3) Diode Laser Probing of Collisions between High Energy and NO2 and Carbon Dioxide; (4) Kinematic Control of Reaction Dynamics; (5) Mapping the Reaction Coordinate in Multichannel Polyatomic Reactions; (6) Mapping the Reaction Coordinate in Polyatomic Reactions; (7) Multiphoton IR excitation. A tunable infrared laser can provide important information about chemical reactivity. Its use may enable breakthroughs in our understanding of the properties of reactive and nonreactive of molecules.
