Notice Information

Notice Title

Amplified Ultrafast Laser System for Scientific Research

Notice Description

The University of Bristol School of Chemistry is looking to procure an amplified ultrafast laser system for use in studies of photochemical dynamics. The laser should consist of an ultrafast oscillator and an amplifier, in a one-box design for optimum stability of operation in our laboratory. Sufficient power output is required to pump two existing optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), operating with 800-nm pump wavelengths, to generate ultraviolet and mid-infrared laser beams at a laser pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Ultrafast photochemical dynamics of molecules in solution and in protein environments will be studied using the techniques of transient absorption spectroscopy and two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The project is funded by EPSRC Programme Grant EP/V026690/1, Ultrafast Photochemical Dynamics in Complex Environments. The Equipment We require an amplified ultrafast laser system for use in studies of photochemical dynamics. The laser should consist of an ultrafast oscillator and an amplifier, in a one-box design for optimum stability of operation in our laboratory. Sufficient power output is required to pump two existing optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs, operating with 800-nm pump wavelengths) to generate ultraviolet and mid-infrared laser beams at a laser pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz.
