Ultrafast Laser - Material Interaction Laboratory

Location: B122 Gerstacker Building

State of the art optics delivery, delay lines, spectrometers, pulse characterization, frequency doubling, etc. facilities.  These are coupled with a Newport 4 axis computer controlled stage for studying the fundamental physics of ultrafast ablation and the thermal and mechanical response of the material and the ejected material/plasma.  We are currently using an Andor spectrometer for studying Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy.
