Acquisition of a Tunable Ultrafast Laser and a Femtosecond Time-Resolved Optical Spectrometer

凭借主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的这一奖项，康涅狄格大学物理系将获得可调谐超快激光器和飞秒时间分辨光谱仪。这一设备将加强以下领域的研究：a）光合能量转移; B）生物光转换; c）高强度激光物理学。来自鲍登学院（Bowdoin College）的教师和学生也将使用这种仪器进行研究。 该仪器将使参与的学生和博士后获得应用于生物材料和强场物理学的超快过程研究技术的经验。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Physics at the University of Connecticut will acquire a tunable ultrafast laser and a femtosecond time-resolved optical spectrometer. This equipment will enhance research in the following areas: a) photosynthetic energy transfer; b) biological photoconversion; and c) high-intensity laser physics. Faculty and students from Bowdoin College, a primarily undergraduate institution, will also carry out research studies using this instrumentation. This instrumentation will allow participating students and postdoctoral associates to obtain experience in the techniques for the study of ultrafast processes applied to biological materials and strong field physics.
