Frequency stabilization of multiple lasers to a reference atomic transition of Rb by Shubham Utreja, Harish Rathore, Manoj Das, Subhasis Panja

“…Abstract Modern atomic clocks based on the interrogation of an atomic transitions in the optical regions require multiple lasers at different wavelength for producing atomic ions, trapping and laser cooling of neutral atoms or atomic ions. In order to achieve highest efficiency for laser cooling or any other atomic transition, frequencies of each of the lasers involved need to be stabilized by mitigating its drifts or fluctuations arise due to ambient temperature variation or other kind of perturbations. …”

Optical and optoelectronic properties of one-dimensional CdS nanostructures by Li, Dehui

“…In this thesis, the photoconductivity spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are utilized to investigate the optical and optoelectronic properties in one-dimensional CdS nanostructures, mainly focusing on the laser cooling of semiconductors and related topics. How the surface depletion field and external electric field affect those optical and optoelectronic properties has been systematically studied for the purpose of understanding the mechanism of laser cooling. …”
