- Laser Chemistry Research Group homepage
- gas phase molecular photodissociation dynamics (using high resolution photofragment translational spectroscopy and ion imaging techniques);
- stereochemical aspects of bimolecular collisions;
- application of a range of novel laser spectroscopies (including cavity ring down spectroscopy, laser induced fluorescence and multiphoton ionisation spectroscopy) to the detection and characterisation of transient gas phase species and to plasma diagnostics;
- investigation of plumes accompanying pulsed laser ablation of solid targets;
- development and application of a novel, high resolution, broadly tuneable, solid state laser.
