Development of Tunable Laser Facility Instrumentation

* 9601586 Fortson这笔赠款将扩大华盛顿大学物理系现有的激光设施的运作，在更困难的光谱区域开发光谱纯激光源：190 nm和250 nm之间的紫外线，以及超过1.5 m的中红外线。 紫外线将由二极管和YAG激光器的有效频率四倍以及后者与现有钛-蓝宝石激光器的混合提供，而红外线将取决于色心激光器和新技术的开发，如掺铥微芯片系统和光纤激光器。 将建立与化学激光为基础的研究部门的联系。 ***

*** 9601586 Fortson This grant will expand the existing Laser Facility operations at the University of Washington Physics Department, to develop spectrally pure laser sources in more difficult spectral regions: the ultraviolet between 190 nm and 250 nm, and the middle infrared beyond 1.5 m. The UV will be served by efficient frequency quadrupling of diode and YAG lasers and mixing of the latter with existing Ti- Sapphire lasers, and the IR will depend upon the exploitation of color center lasers and of new technologies, such as thulium-doped microchip systems and fiber lasers. A link with the Department of Chemistry laser based research will be established. ***
