Spectroscopic measurement of an atomic wave function
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We present a simple spectroscopic method based on Autler-Townes spectroscopy to determine the center-of-mass atomic wave function. The detection of spontaneously emitted photons from a three-level atom, in which two upper ...
Quenching of spontaneous emission through interference of incoherent pump processes
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We investigate the steady-state spontaneous emission of a V-type three-level atom, with the coherence between the two upper levels modified and controlled via incoherent pumping to a fourth auxiliary level. The external ...
Improving engine efficiency by extracting laser energy from hot exhaust gas RID A-1272-2007
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We show that it is possible to improve the efficiency of a classical Otto-cycle heat engine by adding a high-Q microwave cavity and a laser system that can extract coherent laser energy from thermally excited "exhaust" ...
