Femtosecond laser and optical parametric amplifier
The Department of Department of Chemistry-Ångström, division of Physical Chemistry of Uppsala University will purchase a femtosecond laser and optical parametric amplifier. The femtosecond laser and optical parametric amplifier will be used in conjunction with another femtosecond laser and optical parametric amplifier to perform three classes of experiments, namely:
i) photoelectric circular dichroism for simultaneous mass spectrometry and chirality analysis;
ii) 2-photon fluorescence spectroscopy; and
iii) anomalous optical elastic scattering.
The Department of Chemistry-Ångström, division of Physical-Chemistry is actively involved in the development of noble methods based on optical femtosecond lasers. The techniques are used for the understanding of materials photo-physics and photo-chemistry properties, with applications in solar technology, imaging, cancer photo-therapy, pharmaceuticals, etc.
