Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Funding for a Spectro-fluorometer for Fluorescence Spectroscopy

这是一项资助荧光计的提案，用于测量从可见光到中红外的波长范围内的样品。这种仪器将补充现有的吸收光谱仪。该仪器的增加将增强光学性质测量设施，并确保在一个已经在陶瓷材料物理和化学性质测量方面有良好记录的部门制造的材料的完整表征。所要求的仪器将能够在低至77K的温度下测量各种样品几何形状和尺寸的16波长材料的发光。特别是，它将增强目前正在纽约州立陶瓷学院开发的光纤制造计划，允许全面的缺陷和掺杂分析。

This is a proposal for funding for a fluorometer that measures of samples over a range of wavelengths from the visible through the mid infrared. This instrument would complement existing absorption spectrometers. The addition of this instrument would enhance the optical property measurement facilities and ensure the complete characterization of materials fabricated in a department that already has an excellent record for the measurement of physical and chemical properties of ceramic materials. The instrument requested would enable the measurement of luminescence of materials out to a wavelength of 16 on a variety of sample geometries and sizes at temperatures down to 77K. In particular, it would enhance the optical fibre fabrication program currently being developed at the New York State College of Ceramics by allowing comprehensive defect amd dopant analyses.
