This paper gives the 1998 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion
factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and …

Four long-running currents in laser technology met and merged in 1999–2000. Two of these
were the quest toward a stable repetitive sequence of ever-shorter optical pulses and, on the …

This paper gives the 1998 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art in the research field of cold and
ultracold molecules. It serves as an introduction to the focus issue ofNew Journal of Physics …

Atomic frequency standards provide the most accurate measurements in physics. The
Quantum Physics of Atomic Frequency Standards is an extensive survey of the subject …

Unter allen Messgrößen ist die Frequenz diejenige, die mit dem höchsten Grad an
Sicherheit bestimmt werden kann. Damit sind auch präzise Messungen von anderen …

This paper reviews the basic theory of the mechanical action of light in resonant interaction
with atoms. At present the main application is laser cooling, but the approach is applicable to …

It is shown that the interaction geometry comprising four travelling laser waves which is used
to obtain optical Ramsey fringes in atomic spectroscopy, is also well suited to build an atom …

Atom optics refers to techniques to manipulate the trajectories and exploit the wave
properties of neutral atoms. In 1929 0. Stern and colleagues [1—3] laid the first stones, by …

The laser as a source of coherent optical radiation has made it possible to investigate
nonlinear interaction of optical radiation with atoms and mole cules. Its availability has given …
