DURIP 99 Instrument for Ultrafast and Photogated Spectroscopy of Materials for Hole Burning Optical Storage

摘要

The tunable ultrafast laser system with femtosecond and picosecond pulse capability and 1 kHz repetition rate has been purchased and installed. Equipment was acquired for ultrafast and photo-gated hole-burning studies of materials for frequency and time domain spectral hole burning (SHB) optical storage. The goal is directed towards more efficient novel materials for SHB optical storage and photonics devices. Initially, the instrument has been used for measurements of the fluorescence decay time for several free-based and metallo- naphthalocyanines at temperatures 300 K and 8.5 K.
