The goal of this work is to understand certain aspects of how light             interacts with the condensed phase.  The emphasis is on understanding           fundamental processes and making the fundamental inventions that are            expected to feed into areas of technological interest. This research is         aimed at using Raman Spectroscopic methods to learn more detail about           intermolecular interactions and dynamical processes in solids.                  Picosecond laser experiments also will be carried out to help determine         mechanisms of energy disposal in organic solids using a new method of           impurity pumping.  This approach, combined with experiments that use            direct pumping of vibrational overtone states with infrared radiation,          is expected to yield new information about energy relaxation pathways           in the ground states of organic materials.  Proton transfer will be             examined by means of time resolved spectroscopy.
