I have been developing infrared lasers and recently moved a far-infrared free electron laser to the Newark Campus. The laser that will be operational by the end of 1995 generates short tuneable far-infrared light pulses that will permit the analog of pulsed magnetic resonance techniques for the first time in this optical wavelength regime. I intend to study the time dependence of the vibrational motion of DNA and other biological molecules with the ultimate aim of enhancing biochemical activity with far-infrared radiation.
