This equipment grant will support the construction of a high repetition         rate amplifier system for femtosecond dye laser pulses.  The PI plans           to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of novel group II-VI            semiconductor superlattices containing magnetic ions, when subjected to         short pulses of nearly resonant high intensity laser radiation.  The            experimental work involves the use of high power picosecond and                 femtosecond laser techniques at visible wavelengths.  Of specific               physical interest are interactions in a dense exciton gas from the              standpoint of insulator-metal transition, including the presence of an          external magnetic field.  Generally, such phenomena are associated with         large optically induced changes in the material transparency, thereby           providing a device connection to fast optical switches.
