This proposal from a non-Ph.D. granting institution is for acquisition of a new multi-user high power pulsed laser system with fast gated CCD camera for support of research and undergraduate and graduate education in molecular physics and plasma physics. Research in these areas at Wesleyan has been ongoing for many years and was greatly aided by an NSF Major Instrumentation Grant in 1991 for the acquisition of a multi-user pulsed laser system awarded to the three co-PIs on the present proposal (Lutz Huwel, Tom Morgan and Brian Stewart). The new laser system with a fast detection CCD system requested in this proposal is necessary in order to upgrade the experimental capabilities and to increase the effectiveness in research and training. The proposed multi-user facility will be a direct benefit to all three PIs molecular physics research and will allow new collaborative work in the area of plasma physics to begin between the PIs. It will allow the research groups' access to greatly increased experimental capabilities and provide education and training to undergraduates and graduate students in molecular and plasma physics. The broader impacts involve student education and collaboration among research groups.

这份提案来自一个非博士2009年，该研究所获得了一笔赠款，用于购置一台新的多用户高功率脉冲激光系统，配备快速选通CCD摄像机，以支持分子物理学和等离子体物理学方面的研究以及本科生和研究生教育。卫斯理大学在这些领域的研究已经进行了许多年，并在1991年得到了NSF重大仪器拨款的极大帮助，用于购买授予本提案三位合作PI（Lutz Huwel，Tom Morgan和Brian Stewart）的多用户脉冲激光系统。为了提高实验能力，提高研究和培训的效率，本提案中要求的带有快速探测CCD系统的新激光系统是必要的。拟议的多用户设施将直接有利于所有三个PI的分子物理研究，并将允许在等离子体物理领域的新的合作工作，以开始之间的PI。它将使研究小组能够获得大大提高的实验能力，并为本科生和研究生提供分子和等离子体物理学方面的教育和培训。更广泛的影响涉及学生教育和研究小组之间的合作。
