Optical, Opto-Atomic, and Entanglement-Enhanced Precision Metrology.
Levitated particles are attractive systems for precision optomechanics due to their extreme isolation from their environment. Here we describe several experiments with microparticles in magneto-gravitational traps, which use a combination of diamagne

We analyze the energies involved in quasistatically changing the orientation of a magnetic dipole with unperturbed magnetic moment μ in the magnetic field B of a stationary source. We define an effective potential energy Veff for the dipole in a sta

We report the operation of an aerosol analyzer capable of measuring the fluorescence spectra of single micrometer-sized bioaerosol particles as they flow through the instrument. Particles entrained in an airstream initially traverse a cw (continuous

Students in our upper-division/graduate physical optics laboratory course assemble a high-finesse Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) from components, mode-match it to a helium–neon (HeNe) laser, and examine some of the FPI system’s properties and

Students in our upper‐division/graduate optics laboratory course assemble a Mach–Zehnder interferometer from simple components and use it to learn about interferometric principles and to visualize the phase‐front geometries of light waves. Here

A few‐micron‐thick nitrocellulose membrane stretched flat across an open frame (a ‘‘pellicle’’) has gently modulated passbands typically spaced by 20–60 nm across the visible and near‐infrared. This makes it an attractive subject for

We report the operation of an aerosol-fluorescence spectrum analyzer capable of selectively measuring the fluorescence spectra of single micrometer-sized aerosol particles as they flow through the instrument. As the particle first traverses a cw 488-

We describe a previously unreported nonlinear scattering effect that occurs in cylindrical liquid jets irradiated by an intense laser pulse. The spatial characteristics of this feature are quite striking: light emanating from a thin (/=5 microm) circ

We are developing laser based fluorescence particle counters and spectrum analyzers which should be useful for real-time monitoring of airborne bacteria, proteins or other particles. Improved methods for detecting and characterizing airborne particle
