Purchase of an Optically Pumped Molecular Laser System

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的合同将使威斯康星大学长曲棍球分校物理系能够购买光泵分子激光系统。该设备将主要由初级教员Michael Jackson使用，他的研究重点是探测和测量远红外（FIR）区域的新型光泵激光发射，特别是波长低于100微米的激光。这些激光线将作为新的相干辐射源，用于星际或大气化学中重要分子的激光斯塔克或激光磁共振光谱。这些研究活动需要大学本科生的积极参与。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program will enable the Physics Department at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse to purchase an optically pumped molecular laser system. This equipment will be used primarily by junior faculty member Michael Jackson, whose research focuses on the detection and measurement of new optically pumped laser emissions in the far-infrared (FIR) region, particularly at wavelengths below 100 microns. These laser lines will be used as new coherent sources of radiation for laser Stark or laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy of molecules important in interstellar or atmospheric chemistry. These research activities will involve the active participation of undergraduate students at the university.
