用于矿物分析、辐射剂量测定和激光材料表征的紫外到中红外荧光光谱仪：该项目将提供具有收集紫外到中红外荧光的巨大能力的设备，具有高时间测量精度和高度灵活的激发（光谱和时间）。这将加强对新玻璃和激光晶体的积极研究，探测环境和医疗剂量测定材料中电离辐射吸收引起的缺陷状态，研究用于矿物鉴定的新荧光技术，以提高化学检测能力（例如，检测爆炸物）。该仪器包括能够从可调谐激光系统中激发紫外线、可见光和红外线以及高效收集和处理荧光光谱的模块。

Ultraviolet to mid-infrared fluorescence spectrometer for use in mineral analysis, radiation dosimetry and laser materials characterisation: This project will provide equipment with a vast capability to collect ultraviolet to mid-infrared fluorescence with high temporal measurement accuracy, and highly flexible excitation (spectral and temporal). This will enhance active research into new glasses and laser crystals, probing of defect states resulting from ionising radiation absorption in environmental and medical dosimetry materials, investigation of novel fluorescence techniques for mineral identification, through to improving chemical detection capability (for example, detection of explosives). The instrument comprises modules that enable excitation in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared from a tunable laser system, and high-efficiency collection and processing of fluorescence spectra.
