Lasers and Their Application to the Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensates

Download or read book Lasers and Their Application to the Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensates written by Richard A. Dunlap and published by Iop Concise Physics. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of this book overviews the physics of lasers and describes some of the more common types of lasers and their applications. Applications of lasers include CD/DVD players, laser printers and fiber optic communication devices. Part II of this book describes the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation. The experimental techniques used to create a Bose-Einstein condensate provide an interesting and unconventional application of lasers; that is, the cooling and confinement of a dilute gas at very low temperature.
