Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
The AMO group consists of six faculty members, four in experiment and two in theory, and several research associates and graduate students. The research projects include nonlinear optics, studies of macromolecules, photon correlation spectroscopy, spectroscopy of molecular ions, studies of laser-produced low energy plasmas and trapped ions, atomic and molecular collisions, and modeling of molecular clouds in the instellar medium. All four research laboratories are equipped with the state-of-the-art laser, ultrahigh vacuum, and spectroscopy facilities.
