Optical manipulation of group III atoms
We present details for the laser manipulation of group III atoms, specifically aluminum, gallium, and indium. The practical considerations of accomplishing this manipulation are discussed and alternative schem...

Fundamental Tests of Special Relativity and the Isotropy of Space
When one considers tests of special relativity and the isotropy of space, the experiment of MICHELSON and MORLEY [1] immediately comes to mind. These scientists might not have anticipated that one hundred year...

Absolute Wavelength Measurement and Fine Structure Determination in 7Li II
The energy levels of two-electron atoms continue to provide rigorous tests of relativistic quantum theory, and of correlation effects within a multi-particle system. These interactions are determined perturbat...

Rayleigh-Brillouin Gain Spectroscopy in Gases
Over the past decade, we have seen extensive research on and application with Raman gain and other types of coherent Raman spectroscopies. These activities have made clear the advantages of coherent spectrosco...

Fast Beam Laser Spectroscopy and Tests of Special Relativity
Tests of special relativity have been a favoured playground for physicists since the theory was introduced in 1905 [1]. This is to be contrasted with the almost unanimous view that the theory is correct. Being...

Optical Cavity Laser Interferometers for Gravitational Wave Detection
Most of the techniques being developed for detection of gravitational radiation involve sensing the small strains in space associated with the gravitational waves by looking for changes in the apparent distanc...

A Traveling Michelson Interferometer with Phase-Locked Fringe Interpolation
The advent of single-mode cw dye lasers and their application to Doppler-free spectroscopy makes essential the capability of rapidly measuring the dye laser’s wavelength with sub-Doppler absolute accuracy. Our...

Ramsey Fringes in Saturation Spectroscopy
Provided one has been able to develop/acquire frequency and intensity stabilized sources of coherent radiation, there remain two main problems in the pursuit of narrow lines: transit time broadening and Dopple...
