Welcome To Non–Linear Optics and LASER Spectroscopy Laboratory


Overview:

Nonlinear Optics and Laser Spectroscopy laboratory started functioning immediately after the completion of construction of the first phase for Center for Advanced Research in Sciences (CARS), in early 2005. The main reason behind the establishment of this laboratory was exactly the same to the reason behind the establishment of the center (CARS) that was to create advanced research facilities to pursue research in the frontiers of science and to provide the faculty members access to these facilities. Amazing advances are being made by using high power ultra-short laser pulses in spectroscopy. Because of the progress mentioned above and an increased sophistication of research in lasers and quantum optics for last few decades and in particular the lack of state of the art technology equipment, which became very expensive for the university to provide to its researchers in different departments or in individual groups. A nonlinear optics and laser spectroscopy lab was established in the center, to do the advance research in the field of lasers and modern optics.

Research Area:

§  Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy(LIBS) for elemental analysis

§  Raman Spectroscopy as well as Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy(SERS)

§  Formation of nanoparticles and sub-nanostructures
