A surface magneto-optical trap for chromium atoms is demonstrated as a first step toward loading atoms into microscopic magnetic traps. Characteristics of the trap and transfer to microscopic magnetic traps will be discussed.
A magneto-optic trap with feedback-controlled loading and loss rates is used to realize a deterministic source of single Cr atoms with single-atom occupation probability as high as 0.987 plus or minus} 0.001. We present a series of measurements of the
We propose a scheme to achieve the entanglement of N photon modes (frequency modes) with perfectly efficient ultraslow multiwave mixing in a cold atomic medium. In addition, the method provides an efficient approach to realizing frequency tunability.

We construct a rigid-body (5-dimensional) potential-energy surface for the water-hydrogen complex using scaled perturbation theory (SPT). An analytic fit of this surface is obtained, and using this, two minima are found: the global miniumum has C 2v
We have realized a method for producing single Cr atoms on demand by suppressing the stochastic nature of the loading and loss processes of a magneto-optic trap. We observe single-atom trap occupation probabilities as high as (98.7 plus or minus} 0.1)% and

Cosmic plasma conditions created in an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) make it possible to simulate the dependencies of Key diagnostic x-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources. We used a

We have constructed a magneto-optical trap for chromium atoms. Using trapping light at 425 nm and two repumping lasers tuned to intercombination transitions, over 10 6 atoms were trapped and average densities of over 10 16 m -3 were obtained. Non

An investigation is made of a recently introduced quantum interferometric method capable of measuring polarization mode dispersion (PMD) on sub-femtosecond scales, without the usual interferometric stability problems associated with such small time scales

Chirped ultrafast laser pulses in the mid-Infrared and visible are used to experimentally control population transfer in condensed-phase systems and molecules.
