The use of laser technology in modern chemical research will be                 demonstrated through hands-on experimentation by undergraduate                  chemistry and chemical engineering students.  Five experiments                  utilizing the laser system are planned.  These experiments                      illustrate the applicability of laser techniques in                             photochemical kinetic studies and spectroscopy:  Time-resolved                  emission spectrum of a donor-acceptor exciplex; two-photon                      molecular excitation; multiphoton ionization spectroscopy of                    molecular Rydberg states; laser optical characterization of                     electrode surfaces; and laser induced fluorescence in trace                     analysis.  Inclusion of these experiments into the                              instructional laboratory program promotes the goal of providing                 hands-on experience for chemistry undergraduates with                           state-of-the-art laboratory equipment at the forefront of                       modern chemical research.                                                                                                                                       This ILI award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation                        Program will help the Department of Chemistry at Rensselaer                     Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to acquire laser instrumentation                    that will be used to enhance undergraduate laboratory                           instruction.
