PICO/FEMTO DYNAMICS LABORATORY
(6-014, Ramachandra R. Dasari)

This laboratory uses pico/femto second lasers and streak camera to obtain fluorescence decay times of quantum dots, molecules of interests etc. The range of decay times is from 5 psec to a few nanoseconds. The femtosecond laser and optical parametric amplifier are also used in interferometry setups for tissue imaging and cellular dynamics.
