Description

Laser spectroscopy is a very accurate measurement technique, yet a challenging research field. In the laboratory, thanks to the use of a ring dye laser, it is possible to perform precise studies in the field of laser spectroscopy by various methods of Optogalvanic Spectroscopy (OG), Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF), Fluorescence Depletion Spectroscopy (FDS). The laboratory makes use of very expensive commercial equipment, but a number of the instruments in the laboratory was self-built. The laboratory enables analysis of of the structure of atoms and spectroscopic studies of substances.
