This proposal requests a replacement laser for our Coherent Enterprise 352 UV Ar ion laser used for for fundamental fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) research and training for the past two decades. Our laser was commissioned in the late 1998 and achieved over 20,000 hours of beam time. In its last year we observed power fluctuations on numerous occasions, and eventually in late 2020 the unit became unable to lase. Technical inspection showed that the tube was no longer functioning after more than 2 decades of near daily use. This proposal is a request for replacement equipment.

这项提议要求我们的相干Enterprise 352 UV Ar离子激光器替换过去二十年来用于基本荧光光谱、荧光显微镜和时间分辨光致发光(TRPL)研究和培训的激光器。我们的激光器于1998年底投入使用，实现了超过20,000小时的光束时间。在它的最后一年，我们多次观察到功率波动，最终在2020年底，该装置变得无法激光。技术检查显示，在几乎每天使用了20多年后，管子不再起作用。这项提案是对更换设备的请求。
