The objective of the research in the atomic and molecular laser spectroscopy laboratory is to gain knowledge about the basic properties of ions and neutral atoms and molecules, with a particular emphasis on the properties of molecules in electrical discharges.
A tunable CW diode laser with a bandwidth better than one MHz and stability on the order of 100 MHz per hour was designed and built in the laboratory.
Additional equipment includes a high-power, high-resolution, tunable, dye-pulsed laser pumped by the third harmonic of an Nd-YAG laser, along with electronics capable of processing events as fast as half a nanosecond and detecting a single photon.
