Earle K. Plyler Prize for Molecular Spectroscopy & Dynamics: Hyperspectral Imaging with ultrafast 2D spectroscopies : Principles And Applications To Biological And Materials Systems

This talk will cover recent efforts to turn ultrafast multidimensional spectroscopies into microscopies. Experiments will be shown using far-field techniques, like 2D IR spectra collected with a new MCT camera, confocal techniques images are generated by tightly focusing the 2D pulse sequences, and new detection methods using action spectroscopies. The principles behind the techniques will be given and applications shown that range from singlet fission microcrystals to transgenic animals tissues to human lenses.
