The Nano-Optics Laboratory
The Nano-Optics Laboratory provides unique capabilities for ultra high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolution measurements. Equipment includes two Argon ion lasers, a tunable, mode-locked titanium-sapphire laser delivering femtosecond pulses, a helium-cadmium laser, dye lasers, two near-field scanning optical microscopes (NSOM), a Fourier transform infra-red spectrometer (FTIR), a Digital Instruments atomic force microscope (AFM), a 12 Tesla magnet, and several helium cryostats and spectrometers. One of the NSOM systems allows near-field optical measurements at cryogenic temperatures and magnetic fields up to 12 T.
