Journal ArticleDOI
Particle identification by laser-induced incandescence in a solid-state laser cavity.
TL;DR: The laser-induced incandescence of a particle of unknown size and composition can be detected simultaneously with the light elastically scattered by the particle, providing information on both thesize and composition of the particle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and theoretical study of the vapor-cell Zeeman optical trap
TL;DR: A quasi-one-dimensional numerical model is developed that accurately predicts the number of trapped atoms for all conditions and how the number (and therefore the capture rate) and sensity change with the trapping laser's beam diameter, intensity, and detuning.

TL;DR: The Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) instrument on the GRACE Follow-On mission has provided the first laser interferometric range measurements between remote spacecraft, separated by approximately 220 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser vibrometer based on optical-feedback-induced frequency modulation of a single-mode laser diode
TL;DR: A sensitive and inexpensive vibrometer based on optical feedback by diffuse scattering to a single-mode diode laser that provides an inexpensive and sensitive method of noncontact measurement in solid materials with low or uneven reflectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of wall coatings for vapor-cell laser traps
Abstract: Efficient collection of atoms into a vapor‐cell laser trap requires a special wall material for the cell that minimizes the interactions between the vapor and the wall. Tests of several different wall coatings and materials are reported, and measurements of adsorption energies, outgassing, and chemical reaction rates between the alkali vapor and the walls are described. It is demonstrated that each of these parameters affects the collection efficiency.
