Optical atomic coherence at the 1-second time scale.
Highest-resolution laser spectroscopy has generally been limited to single trapped ion systems because of the rapid decoherence that plagues neutral atom ensembles. Precision spectroscopy of ultracold neutral atoms confined in a trapping potential now shows superior optical coherence without any deleterious effects from motional degrees of freedom, revealing optical resonance linewidths at the ...
متن کاملFriction at the Atomic Scale
Everyone learns the basics of friction in high-school physics classes: the friction force experienced by a sliding object is proportional to the normal force that an object exerts on a surface. Remarkably, this extremely simple and empirical relation, known as Amontons’ Law, is still often used in creating the most technologically sophisticated machines and devices, even though friction is know...
متن کاملAtomic-scale confinement of resonant optical fields.
In the presence of matter, there is no fundamental limit preventing confinement of visible light even down to atomic scales. Achieving such confinement and the corresponding resonant intensity enhancement inevitably requires simultaneous control over atomic-scale details of material structures and over the optical modes that such structures support. By means of self-assembly we have obtained si...
متن کاملTime-gated Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography.
A novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is presented that combines Fourier-domain OCT with incoherent nonlinear time gating. By processing backscattered light in the optical domain, the user can select a restricted depth field of view for improved contrast and acquisition speed. This technique has the additional advantage that imaging is done in the infrared (approximately 1280 nm) bu...
متن کاملAnterior Segment Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
To compare anterior segment parameters using quantitative imaging by anterior segment time domain optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and high frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (HF-UBM). SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology at Bari University. METHODS: Seventy-two eyes of 72 subjects had anterior segment evaluation by AS-OCT (Stratus ver 6Zeiss) and HF-UBM (OTI-Scan HF35-50). Central corneal...
