My Background• Trained in atomic
physics.• Atomic hydrogen good.• All else Bad!• Moving on… $500k to
build a lab to study the optical properties of photovoltaics
• Many of the instruments can be used for chemistry and biology
• So… make a user facility!

a few, uh, provisos… A couple of quid pro quo.
• I am not a chemist
• I am not a biologist
• I have never performed any of these experiments
• I would like to though...

Lasers
Absorption SpontaneousEmission
StimulatedEmission
• Monochromatic… Usually• Line-widths of ~30GHz can be obtained (<1cm-1) .Less than
many atomic transitions.• Wavelength stability to better than 1 part in 108
• Coherent• Spectrally bright. Lots of photons can be imaged on a sample
(some lasers are 1020 times brighter than the sun!)• Directional
• Makes interferometric techniques easier

Spectroscopy• Absorption Spectrum given by• ΔI(λ)=Io(λ)-IT(λ)
Example: a 1m spectrograph has ~0.01nm resolution corresponding to Δν=12GHz at λ=500nm
Doppler Width of a molecule at room temperature ~1GHz
Single mode lasers have resolutions sub-kHz->ΔI/I 12 times larger than conventional absorption spectroscopy!
•Advantages of Laser Spectroscopy• No need for a monochromator• Resolution limited only be the
absorbing molecular transitions• Detection sensitivity increases
with increasing spectral resolution
• Long absorption cells can be used

Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy
• Assume a cavity with two mirrors with reflectivity R
• The transmission of the mirror is then• T=1-R-A<<1, where A includes
other losses
• After a time t the detected power will be• P(t)=P1exp(-t/τ1)
• The decay times with and without the sample are measured and it can be shown:• αL=(1-R)Δτ/τ1
• Let R=99.99%, Δτ/τ1=10-4 αL=10-8
• For L=1m α=10-10cm-1

Laser Induced Fluorescence• Advantages:• Single excitation makes a
simpler spectrum and thus easier level identification
• Stronger excitation levels, allows for detection of transitions with small Franck-Condon Factors
• High sensitivity allows reconstruction of potential curves
• Can determine population distributions
• Level spacings of polyatomic molecules show signatures of chaos.

Laser Raman Spectroscopy
• Lasers are an improvement for Raman Spectroscopy
• Fluorescence minimized • Overcomes weak Raman
effect
•Used in Analytic Chemistry• Surface studies• FT-Raman similar to FTIR• Raman microscopy possibleImages: McCreery, Raman Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis
