Instrumentation

 

The GPMD experimental laboratories will relocate into newly renovated space in the historic BNL Chemistry Building in fall 2013. The major instrumentation for spectroscopy, kinetics and chemical dynamics studies includes two CW Ti:sapphire ring laser systems, several Lambda Physik excimer lasers, a Nd:Yag-pumped dye laser system, a 355 nm pumped high-resolution OPO system, numerous external-cavity diode lasers operating as tunable cw sources in the near infrared region, and a mode-locked fiber ring laser with amplifier and supercontinuum generation in the 1-2 micron region.  A commercial 1.5 micron self-referenced frequency comb and associated external cavity diode lasers are located in the Sears laboratory in the Chemistry Department of Stony Brook University. 

Vacuum chambers are equipped with pinhole or slit jet sources for molecular beams, and use laser photolysis, laser ablation, or electric discharge for the generation of chemical species of interest.  Other experiments are performed in assorted flow cells with controlled gas mixtures. 

The laboratory is equipped with an extensive collection of diagnostic and signal acquisition electronics, RF components, light detectors and optics.

Computational work is done on locally maintained Linux clusters and with access to the NERSC computing facilities at Berkeley.

DOE, Office of Science One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
