Professor Mantz's research interests reflect his previous industrial research and management experience. He is actively engaged in research which utilizes tunable diode lasers in the detailed study of molecular absorption line shapes at room temperature and at low temperatures. Low molecular temperatures are achieved through a new experimental technique called collisional cooling. Instrumental development over the past several years concentrated on the development of laser stabilization techniques to control the emission line width of semiconductor lasers while they are being scanned. Professor Mantz utilizes his experience in optics, spectroscopy and quantum mechanics in the teaching of courses like "Advanced Physical Optics, Thermodynamics, and Wave Motion," "Applied Quantum Mechanics," "Experimental Physics," and "Modern Physics." He also advises students who are interested in combining studies in business with the sciences, like physics, materials science, nanotechnology, and environmental science. Professor Mantz has published more than seventy papers describing his research results in refereed journals and other publications, including "Argon Broadening of the 13CO R(0) and R (7) transition in the Fundamental band at Temperatures between 80 and 297K; Comparison between Experiment and Theory," Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy, Elsevier, 2003. Professor Mantz has presented many plenary papers in international conferences, and has written several review articles and book chapters on the subjects of tunable laser spectroscopy and experimental spectroscopic methods. His most recent Invited Paper was presented in the XIVth Symposium on High Resolution Molecular Spectroscopy which was held onboard a ship while cruising the Yenisee River in Siberia. The paper was titled "Infrared Absorption Line Broadening and Line Profile Studies between 296K and 6K Using Tunable Diode Lasers." Mantz holds several patents on such diverse subjects as laser-stable isotope ratio monitors for medical applications and a method to study time resolved spectra utilizing Fourier transform interferometers. Mantz is currently president of the Wamphassuc Point Association in Stonington, CT, and Reviews Editor for Spectrochimica Acta. He is co-organizer of a rapidly growing international conference on tunable diode laser spectroscopy, which is held every two years. The 2003 meeting took place in Zermatt, Switzerland, in July.

Prokhorov.
