An Advanced Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy Facility in Queensland (2021–2024)
Abstract:
The project aims to establish a world-class ultrafast laser spectroscopy facility to investigate how molecules
interact with visible or ultraviolet light. Light-matter interactions are key to energy generation in nature through
photosynthesis as well as everyday technologies including optical communications and displays. This project expects to generate new knowledge in on how light interacts with matter at the molecular level. Expected
outcomes of the ultrafast spectroscopic measurements will be understanding the fate of light absorbed by or generated in different materials. Application of the knowledge gained will enable the design of materials for more efficient technologies such as solar cells, lighting, and sensors.
