Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of British Columbia
$102,600.00
Multiuse laser based sample heater
FY 2006-07
Summary
Even though temperature is one of the most important physical parameters for the processing of materials, it is often not a trivial feat to heat a sample in a controlled manner to a specific temperature. Providing heat via the absorption of photons from a laser source solves many practical problems, particularly when heating an object in a controlled atmosphere, and opens up many new possibilities for heat based processing steps. We are proposing the purchase of a high power diode based laser heating system. Fully integrated with this system is a pyrometer to provide active feedback for exceptional temperature control. A particularly appealing aspect of the proposed system is that it can be moved easily from one experimental setup to another, allowing the investment in this equipment to be of direct benefit to multiple group's research projects.
