9975615This award will provide partial support for the acquisition of a versatile ultrafast optical laser system that is centered around two broadly-tunable high-pulse-energy femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers (OPA) with nonlinear harmonic generation, pumped by a fsec Ti:Sapphire laser and regenerative laser amplifier. This system will be a unique and open research and student training facility on the Purdue University Campus. The broadly interdisciplinary group of researchers from across the Purdue Campus will use the facility for advanced research on semiconductor, metal and biomaterials. The research facility will be closely integrated with Purdue University teaching goals at the undergraduate and graduate student level to give students broad exposure to advanced technology to prepare them for diverse careers in science and engineering.&&&This equipment will significantly enhance the research and educational capability and infrastructure of the institution, its students, and its faculty.

9975615该奖项将为多功能超快光学激光系统的收购提供部分支持，该系统以两个具有非线性谐波产生的宽可调谐高脉冲能量飞秒光学参量放大器（OPA）为中心，由飞秒钛宝石激光器和再生激光放大器泵浦。该系统将是普渡大学校园内一个独特的开放式研究和学生培训设施。来自普渡大学校园的广泛跨学科研究人员将使用该设施进行半导体，金属和生物材料的高级研究。该研究设施将与普渡大学本科和研究生水平的教学目标紧密结合，让学生广泛接触先进技术，为他们在科学和工程领域的各种职业做好准备。这些设备将显著增强该机构、学生和教师的研究和教育能力以及基础设施。
