Continuous Beam of Laser-Cooled Ytterbium Atoms for Precision Measurements
(2017-11-22)What if an elementary particle such as an electron had an intrinsic electric dipole moment (EDM)? Existence of such an EDM would be an indication of time-reversal symmetry violation in the laws of Physics. The Standard ... -
Experimental Studies in Quantum Optics using Diode Lasers
This thesis discusses experimental studies with vapor cells containing rubidium (Rb) or cesium (Cs) atoms. Transitions in the atoms (D1 and D2 lines) are accessed using diode lasers. Experiments are performed at room ... -
High Precision Optical Frequency Metrology
(2009-07-22)Precise measurements of both absolute frequencies and small frequency differences of atomic energy levels have played an important role in the development of physics. For example, high precision measurements of absolute ... -
High-Resolution Spectroscopy in Atoms Using Coherent Control
(2017-10-26)The subject of this thesis is the study of coherent interaction of light with matter (atoms) to improve the precision measurements and techniques. Special attention is drawn to get the narrow subnatural electromagnetically ... -
Hyperfine Structure-Measurement in Alkali-metal Atoms and Ytterbium Atom
(2018-02-15)Atomic precision measurements provide a strong testing ground for new theoretical ideas and fundamental laws of physics. Measurement of the Lamb shift in the hydrogen atom is one of the best examples towards this -it ... -
Light and magnetic field induced coherence effects in atoms
In this thesis, we have studied the coherence effects in atoms induced by light and a magnetic field. After giving an introduction to the contents of the thesis, details about the theory and the experimental setup used are ... -
Optical Tweezers and Its use in Studying Red Blood Cells - Healthy and Infected
(2017-11-29)The experiment discussed in the next chapter was to confirm the aforementioned bystander effect. In the first experiment we separated hosting and non-hosting mRBCs by the percol purification method and then measured the corner ... -
