Laser dynamics lab unlocks new spectroscopy techniques

17 Jun 2002

A new research laboratory launched recently at the Georgia Institute of Technology will use the latest in laser analytical techniques to study how photons interact with materials of all types, including the human body.

"The Laser Dynamics Laboratory will provide a shared resource for researchers, encourage collaboration across disciplines and facilitate the use of laser spectroscopic techniques in new areas of study," said Director Dr. Mostafa El-Sayed. "We know about photons and what they will do. We want to extend that knowledge into other applications that are helpful to us and to other researchers."
