"The Research Corporation Cottrell Science Award (1995) was awarded to Profs. John Collins and Xuesheng Chen for a proposal entitled "Light-shifts of Energy Levels of Rare Earth Ions in Solids." The experiment involves measuring the effect of a high intensity laser field on the energy levels in solid state laser materials containing Rare Earth ions. Adam Scarcella (class of 1997) was employed in the summer of 1996 to construct the Q-switched Nd: YAG laser to be used in the project. Investigations will continue throughout the 1996-97 academic year."
