Enhancement of Modern Physics Laboratory: Optics and Spectroscopy

该项目支持加强特拉华大学的本科生物理实验室经验。为改进光学和光谱学领域的现代物理实验室提供了设备。拥有现代设备和测量技术的直接实验室经验是我们振兴实验室序列的重点。目前的激光和光谱技术由以下光散射实验很好地代表：光子计数和探测器特性、光子特性(单光子干涉、统计、弱局域)、拉曼和布里渊光谱、光子相关光谱(临界乳浊度、布朗运动)、以及脉冲激光光谱学(染料激光、时间分辨荧光)。NSF的赠款资金正在与来自非联邦来源的资金相匹配。

This project supports enhancement of the undergraduate physics laboratory experience at the University of Delaware. Equipment is provided for improvement of the modern physics lab in the areas of optics and spectroscopy. Direct laboratory experience with modern equipment and measurement techniques is the focus of our revitalized laboratory sequence. Current laser and spectroscopic techniques are well represented by the following light scattering experiments: Photon counting and detector properties, Properties of photons (single photon interference, statistics, weak localization), Raman and Brillouin spectroscopy, Photon correlation spectroscopy (critical opalescence, Brownian motion), and Pulsed laser spectroscopy (dye lasers, time-resolved fluorescence).NSF grant funds are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.
