Laser-assisted manufacturing (LAM) is a technique that performs machining of materials
using a laser heating process. During the process, temperatures can rise above over 2000 …

Aiming at the development of strategies to prevent the hand‐foot‐syndrome, we propose to
evaluate the amount of chemotherapeutics in the human skin together with carotenoids the …

We present a detailed study of the clock-transition spectrum of cold 171 Yb ytterbium atoms
in a 1D optical lattice. A typical clock-transition spectrum with a carrier-sideband structure is …

We report enhanced three-dimensional degenerated Raman sideband cooling (3D DRSC)
of caesium (Cs) atoms in a standard single-cell vapour-loaded magneto-optical trap. Our …

We demonstrate simultaneous phase and amplitude imaging of cold atoms using an
intrinsically stable interferometer based on polarization beam-displacers. This method …

We measure sub-MHz AC Stark shifts, also known as light shifts, in an undergraduate
laboratory setting using Raman pump-probe spectroscopy to observe sub-natural linewidth …

Using eigenmode analysis I calculate in the linear regime the emission characteristics from
a slab of two-level resonant atoms excited by a delta-pulse propagating normal to the …

We consider a two-component Bose–Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional optical
cavity. Specifically, the condensate atoms are taken to be in two degenerate modes due to …

AC Stark shift and Zeeman shift of ultracold atoms are measured by a simple Raman pump–
probe spectroscopy. We systematically investigate the relationship between these energy …

This thesis presents data from optical lattices using fluorescence imaging and pump-probe
spectroscopy. From these experimental techniques we obtain information on the diffusion …
