MIT Laser Research Facility

该奖项重申了对麻省理工学院哈里森光谱实验室激光研究设施的支持，该实验室由M. S. Feld教授领导。这种支助来自数学和物理科学理事会化学司和多学科活动办公室。激光研究设施是一个共享的研究设施，化学、物理、环境科学和工程领域的物理科学家使用激光和最先进的光谱技术来研究广泛的问题。研究集中在六个领域：纳米结构材料光谱学、拉曼光谱学、基于超灵敏吸收的激光技术、皮秒动力学、光学物理和光源开发以及环境科学。该设施以本科生、研究生和博士后教育和培训为特色，并通过传播科学成果和专题研讨会进行推广。激光研究设施是一个共享的设施，拥有最先进的设备和熟练使用的人员，使新的研究机会能够被迅速、经济和有效地抓住和实施。它带来了新的合作和研究项目，如果没有这个设施，这些项目就不会存在。

This award renews support for the Laser Research Facility at the Harrison Spectroscopy Laboratory at MIT directed by Professor M. S. Feld. The support derives from the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The Laser Research Facility is a shared research facility in which physical scientists in chemistry, physics, environmental science, and engineering pursue a broad range of problems using lasers and state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques. The research is focussed in six areas: spectroscopy of nanostructured materials, Raman spectroscopy, ultrasensitive absorption-based laser techniques, picosecond dynamics, optical physics and source development, and environmental science. The Facility features undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral education and training, as well as outreach through dissemination of scientific results and topical seminars. The Laser Research Facility, as a shared facility with state-of-the-art equipment and personnel skilled in its use, enables new research opportunities to be seized upon and carried out quickly, economically, and effectively. It leads to new collaborations and research programs that would not exist in the absence of the facility.
