Welcome to the world of PULS!
Led by Dr. Lingze Duan, Assistant
Professor of Physics, the PULS at UAHuntsville consists of a group of
people who are fascinated by the intriguing nature of light. Our program
enjoys the state-of-the-art optics research facilities at UAHuntsville
and proximity to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Army's Redstone
Arsenal, Cummings Research Park, and other high-tech
institutions/companies in the greater Huntsville area. Members of PULS
come from different cultural backgrounds but share the same passion
toward science.Together, we seek deeper understanding and greater
control of light. We also position ourselves as part of the community
and strive to service the northern Alabama region through various
channels.

NEWS UPDATE
|
Oct 20, 2011 - Dr. Jinsong Nie has joined PULS as a visiting scholar from University of Science and Technology of China. He will be conducting research on remote transfer of precision clock signals through free-space and fiber-optic links. |
July 2, 2011 - The FC-1500-250 Optical Frequency Synthesizer has been installed at the new Femtosecond Laser Frequency Comb Lab located in the Optics Building. It is among the very few such laser systems currently running in the US and will be used for studying atmospheric transmission of ultrastable clock signals and precision spectroscopy. More information can be found at www.frequencycomb.com. |
