(Lecture)Laser photochemistry Introduction,Parameters of laser radiation--Photophysics and Photochemistry

A Brief introduction of the Speaker

Gagik G. Gurzadyan received his PhD from Moscow State University in 1983. Since 1991 he worked at the Max-Planck lnstitute, Humboldt University of Berlin and Technical University of Munich (Germany),at the Nuclear Research Center Saclay (France). In 2008 he joined Nanyang Technological University(Singapore) as a full-time visiting professor. From 2015-2023 he was appointed at Dalian University of Technology as Professor. G.G.Gurzadyan is an expert in nonlinear optics and crystals, ultrafast laser spectroscopy, two-quantum photochemistry. His Handbook of Nonlinear Optical Crystals is used as a textbook in University courses of many countries. This book is also translated to Chinese.

Abstract

Some applications of femtosecond laser spectroscopy i.e. one- and two-quantum induced singlet exciton fission in organic single crystals, films, dimeric molecules, single-photon dianion formation in molecular crystals, ultrafast relaxation dynamics in SURMOF (Surface Mounted Metal Organic Framework), polaron and excimer formation in organic crystals and films will be presented and discussed. it will mostly be focused on the photochemistry from upper excited electronic states.
