Purchase of an Optically Pumped Molecular Laser System

化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的这一奖项将使威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校的物理系能够购买光泵分子激光系统。 该设备将主要由初级教员Michael杰克逊使用，他的研究重点是在远红外（FIR）区域检测和测量新的光泵激光发射，特别是在波长低于100微米。 这些激光线将被用作新的相干辐射源，用于星际或大气化学中重要分子的激光斯塔克或激光磁共振光谱。 这些研究活动将涉及大学本科生的积极参与。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will enable the Physics Department at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse to purchase an optically pumped molecular laser system. This equipment will be used primarily by junior faculty member Michael Jackson, whose research focuses on the detection and measurement of new optically pumped laser emissions in the far-infrared (FIR) region, particularly at wavelengths below 100 microns. These laser lines will be used as new coherent sources of radiation for laser Stark or laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy of molecules important in interstellar or atmospheric chemistry. These research activities will involve the active participation of undergraduate students at the university.
