An Advanced Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy Facility in Queensland

该项目旨在建立一个世界级的超快激光光谱设备，以研究分子如何与可见光或紫外光相互作用。光与物质的相互作用是通过光合作用以及包括光通信和显示在内的日常技术在自然界中产生能量的关键。这个项目希望在分子水平上产生关于光与物质相互作用的新知识。超快光谱测量的预期结果将是了解被不同材料吸收或产生的光的命运。所获得的知识的应用将使材料设计更有效的技术，如太阳能电池，照明和传感器。

The project aims to establish a world-class ultrafast laser spectroscopy facility to investigate how molecules interact with visible or ultraviolet light. Light-matter interactions are key to energy generation in nature through photosynthesis as well as everyday technologies including optical communications and displays. This project expects to generate new knowledge in on how light interacts with matter at the molecular level. Expected outcomes of the ultrafast spectroscopic measurements will be understanding the fate of light absorbed by or generated in different materials. Application of the knowledge gained will enable the design of materials for more efficient technologies such as solar cells, lighting, and sensors.
