New Multidimensional Femtosecond Spectroscopic Techniques for Complex Molecular Systems. We will develop novel multidimensional nonlinear spectroscopic techniques based on sequences of femtosecond laser pulses to investigate ultrafast processes and transient species in complex molecular systems. The molecular systems will include biologically important protein molecules, complex synthetic polymers, new semiconductor materials and semiconductor quantum structures including quantum dots.

We will develop novel multidimensional nonlinear spectroscopic techniques based on sequences of femtosecond laser pulses to investigate ultrafast processes and transient species in complex molecular systems. The molecular systems will include biologically important protein molecules, complex synthetic polymers, new semiconductor materials and semiconductor quantum structures including quantum dots. This information will significantly advance our understanding of fundamental dynamical processes such as energy and charge transfer in macro- and supra-molecules, transport of oxygen in animals, photosynthesis, advanced photo-active devices, and ultrafast processes in new semiconductor materials and semiconductor quantum structures.Read moreRead less
