Early Career Laser Laboratory

The ECLL employs a variety of ultra-fast laser spectroscopies to facilitate the understanding of photochemical, photophysical and interfacial processes with an emphasis on supporting early career researchers.

The ECLL provides high repetition rate (1 – 200 kHz), short (170 fs) laser pulses allowing users to probe the photodynamics of materials, or to perform non-linear optical spectroscopies to exclusively probe buried interfaces. View publications arising from experiments in the ECLL.

Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation (VSFG) Spectroscopy

VSFG is a surface specific vibrational spectroscopy, which facilitates the understanding of interfacial chemistries.

The ECLL has been supported by EPSRC Grants EP/S017623/1 and EP/P034497/1 and the University of Liverpool.
