FACILITIES and key instruments
Our group at Columbia runs a state-of-the art laboratory for optical and nano-optical characterization of complex materials. Versatility of infrared and optical methods can be appreciated from a quick inspection of characteristic energy scales in solids which all fall in the frequency range that can be covered using a series of instruments available in our group. Development of novel spectroscopic instrumentation is an integral part of our research effort.
