The Tools for Studying Light

From its very beginnings, the Spectroscopy Laboratory has recognized that world-class research requires state-of-the-art equipment. As a result, the Laboratory strives to maintain a diverse collection of laser systems for the purpose of fundamental and applied research in modern optics and spectroscopy. In addition, the Spectroscopy Laboratory houses the Laser Biomedical Research Center (LBRC), an NIH supported center whose facilities are open for biological and biomedicine research.

As an organizational unit, the Spectroscopy Laboratory consists of a collection of main and auxiliary laboratories, having one of the largest and most diverse collections of lasers and instrumentation in an academic environment. The following list describes the various facilities and equipment available, as well as a brief overview of the ongoing research objectives. The principal investigator responsible for each laboratory is indicated.
