This proposal requests a replacement laser for our Coherent Enterprise 352 UV Ar ion laser used for for fundamental fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) research and training for the past two decades. Our laser was commissioned in the late 1998 and achieved over 20,000 hours of beam time. In its last year we observed power fluctuations on numerous occasions, and eventually in late 2020 the unit became unable to lase. Technical inspection showed that the tube was no longer functioning after more than 2 decades of near daily use. This proposal is a request for replacement equipment.

该提案要求为过去二十年来用于基础荧光光谱、荧光显微镜和时间分辨光致发光 (TRPL) 研究和培训的 Coherent Enterprise 352 UV Ar 离子激光器更换激光器。我们的激光器于 1998 年末投入使用，光束时间超过 20,000 小时。去年，我们多次观察到功率波动，最终在 2020 年底，该装置无法发射激光。技术检查表明，该管在近乎日常使用了 20 多年后不再发挥作用。该提案是更换设备的请求。
