U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Picosecond Diagnostics for the Characterization of Reactive Systems in the Gas Phase

该奖项支持Mark A.Linne博士和科罗拉多矿业学院的一名研究生与比勒费尔德大学物理化学系的Katharina Kohse-H`inghaus合作。这两个小组之间的合作将研究使用新型皮秒激光光源和技术来评估和开发用于燃烧、化学气相沉积和等离子体等过程中的反应气相流动的激光诊断技术。比勒费尔德的研究小组以其对激光诱导荧光诊断的基本方面的研究而闻名。科罗拉多小组拥有与德国能力互补的实验室设施，并已被用于开发几种非传统皮秒激光技术。这项工作的主要目标是研究小分子中的能量转移，开发新的皮秒诊断方法，将两个小组的能力结合起来，并将小组中的年轻成员带入合作。

This award supports Dr. Mark A. Linne and a graduate student from the Colorado School of Mines in a collaboration with Katharina Kohse-H`inghaus of the Department of Physical Chemistry at the University of Bielefeld. The collaboration between the two groups will investigate the use of novel picosecond laser sources and techniques to evaluate and develop laser diagnostics for reacting gas-phase flows in processes such as combustion, chemical vapor deposition, and plasmas. The group in Bielefeld is well- known for its research on the fundamental aspects of laser-induced fluorescence diagnostics. The Colorado group has a laboratory setup that complements the German capabilities and has been used for the development of several non-traditional picosecond laser techniques. The main goals of the work are to study energy transfer in small molecules, develop new picosecond diagnostics, combine the capabilities of the two groups, and bring younger members of the group into the collaboration.
