Facilities
and Equipment
-
Computational facilities
-
In addition to the usual PCs students have
access
to Unix workstations in the Computational
Fluid Physics Lab and the Texas Advanced Computing
Center located
on the J.J. Pickle Research Campus. Laboratory computers
are used for
moderate-scale computations, testing ideas and program
check-out, and to
communicate with mainframes on campus, supercomputer
facilities at government
laboratories and other supercomputer centers.
-
Experimental facilities
-
Mid-infrared (3-8 µm) diode laser
system, near-ir
diode laser systems (0.8 µm), high repetiton rate (1-20
kHz) high power (>70W) diode pumped Nd:YAG laser system;
monochromators, spectrometer with gated
array detector, pulsed nitrogen laser and dye laser system,
flat-flame
burner, Wolfhard-Parker burner, capillary plasma generator,
gated CCD-array,
fiber optics, equipment for modulation spectroscopy,
data-acquisition systems
and dedicated computers. Students working on experiments also
use the computing
facilities to design experiments and analyze the results.
