Purchase of a Tunable Ultrafast Laser System for Time- Resolved Spectroscopy and Microscopy

该奖项由化学研究仪器和设施 （CRIF）计划和多学科活动办公室（OMA） 将协助堪萨斯州立大学化学系 获得可调谐超快激光器用于时间分辨光谱学， 显微镜这一设备将加强若干领域的研究 包括：（1）显微镜/光谱 技术上重要的介观结构薄膜的表征 材料和（2）光谱表征的物理 蛋白质的性质，使用双羟基残基作为探针。 激光可以提供有关化学反应性的重要信息。其 使用可能会使我们在理解的性质突破， 分子的反应性和非反应性。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program and and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) will assist the Department of Chemistry at Kansas State University to acquire a tunable ultrafast laser for time-resolved spectroscopy and microscopy. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) the microscopic/spectroscopic characterization of technologically important mesostructured thin film materials and (2) the spectroscopic characterization of the physical propoerties of proteins using the tryptophanyl residues as probes. A laser can provide important information about chemical reactivity. Its use may enable breakthroughs in our understanding of the properties of reactivity and non-reactivity of molecules.
