The organization of the RLBL encourages active collaboration between research groups in Chemistry and those in other departments, and between University personnel and visitors from the outside. Representatives from other academic institutions and from industry are constant visitors to the RLBL, providing valuable opportunities for interactions between students and career scientists.
Information is disseminated through workshops and an active seminar series as well as a Newsletter.
The facility is staffed by full-time technical personnel who are freely available to give assistance and advice to students involved in many of the different aspects of laser science and technology. Unique opportunities exist at Penn for work with many types of lasers and related techniques not often found in other institutions. Many of the laser systems have either been developed or substantially modified within the Penn Chemistry Department. No part of this page may be reproduced without permission.
