They propose a study of the optical properties of actinide doped                inorganic glasses.  In particular, they will focus their                        attention on the dynamics of optical excitation and fluorescence                in these little studied systems.  Though the actinides are                      similar in their optical properties to the lanthanides, which                   have been widely used in optical devices, there have been few                   studies of the optical properties of actinide ions in glasses.                  Their initial task will be to carry out experiments to                          characterize the optical excitation and emission spectra of                     promising actinide ions, using the spectra of ions in crystalline               hosts as a starting point.  Interpretation of such spectra are                  much clearer if experiments are carried out at low temperatures,                so an optical system capable of absorption and time resolved                    fluorescence mearsurements will be assembled.  Some of the key                  components of this system are already in place at Macalester, the               rest will be developed in the first year of the project.
