Upgrading of the Princeton Laser Microprobe Facility: Enhancement of the NdYAG Source for UV Emission

9417921 Onstott该合同提供部分(52%)资金，用于购买设备部件，以升级在普林斯顿大学地质和地球物理科学系安装和运行的激光系统。该机构承诺提供开展该项目所需的剩余资金。这次升级将允许通常在红外线范围内发射辐射的激光器将其频率提高四倍，进入紫外线范围。此次升级将提高激光在用作矿物Ar-Ar测年的微探针采样设备的应用中的性能。***

9417921 Onstott This award provides partial (52%) funding for the purchase of equipment components to upgrade a Nd-YAG laser system installed and operated in the Department of Geological and Geophysical Sciences at Princeton University. The institution is committed to providing the remaining funds necessary to carry out the project. The upgrade will allow the laser, which normally emits radiation in the infra-red range to quadruple its frequency into the ultraviolet range. The upgrade will improve the performance of the laser in applications where it is used as a microprobe sampling device for argon-argon dating of minerals. ***
