The picture above shows detection and signal processing
equipment in the foreground, the molecular beam time-of-flight system behind,
a geriatric Quanta-Ray YAG laser, and various gas handling and optical
equipment beyond.

The photo above shows a homebuilt pulsed dye laser in
operation in the foreground. It and two other dye lasers are pumped
by the 2nd and 3rd harmonics of the Continuum YAG laser at the lower right.
Beyond the laser is equipment for non-linear frequency conversion, and
the Quanta-Ray YAG firing for use as an ablation laser.

Final beam handling optics for VUV generation and the
MB-TOF system in one of its incarnations. The smaller, multi-armed
chamber is a VUV generation gas cell combined with a reflective filter
to reject fundamental wavelengths and direct VUV light into the main chamber.

the dye lasers, actually wearing laser goggles. By sheer chance,
the laser fired while the camera shutter was open.
