@import url( "../../main.css" ); + View the NASA Portal Gravitational and Relativistic Physics (GRP) PRESENT: Ongoing Research FUTURE: Gravity Probe B AMS STEP LISA ... SUMO PAST: Gravity Probe A Viking Lunar Laser Ranging Launch Date: Mission Duration: Continuous Apollo 11 astronauts placed a reflector array in the Sea of Tranquillity, on the Moon, to begin lunar laser ranging. Additional retroreflectors were placed on the moon by the Apollo 14 and 15 missions. Also, a French-built retroreflector was carried aboard the Soviet Lunakhod 2. These four are used regularly. Lunar ranging involves sending a laser beam through an optical telescope. The beam enters the telescope where the eyepiece would be, and the transmitted beam is expanded to become the diameter of the main mirror, then bounced off the surface toward the reflector on the Moon. Once the laser beam hits a reflector, scientists at the ranging observatories use extremely sensitive filtering and amplification equipment to detect the return signal, which is far too weak to be seen with the human eye. Even under good atmospheric viewing conditions, only one photon is received every few seconds.

Femtosecond Spectroscopy A microscope objective lens (shown here) focuses a red (620 nm) femtosecond laser pulse to a peak intensity of 3 X 10 watts/cm in a cell containing 5 atm. Ar gas, producing an ionization spark (white dot) which absorbs about 1% of the incident light. The remaining transmitted light is spectrally shifted by ultrafast phase modulation at the ionization front to a yellow-green color, which is clearly visible scattering from the exit wall of the cell and the housing of the microscope objective. Spectral analysis of this "blue-shifted" light has provided femtosecond-time-resolved measurements of ionization dynamics at high light intensity (see W. M. Wood et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. , 3523 (1991)). Recently a more sensitive, sophisticated measurement of such frequency shifts"femtosecond longitudinal interferometry"has provided femtosecond-time-resolved characterization of density oscillations (Langmuir waves) of a fully-ionized helium plasma in the wake of a very intense (3 X 10 watts/cm ) femtosecond laser pulse ( C.

Swedish Press Release: The 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics 15 October 1997 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly to Professor Steven Chu , Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA, Professor Claude Cohen-Tannoudji Dr. William D. Phillips , National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light. Atoms floating in optical molasses Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji , and William D. Phillips Slowing down atoms with photons Doppler cooling and optical molasses The slowing down effect described above forms the basis for a powerful method of cooling atoms with laser light. The method was developed around 1985 by Steven Chu and his co-workers at the Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey. They used six laser beams opposed in pairs and arranged in three directions at right angles to each other. Sodium atoms from a beam in vacuum were first stopped by an opposed laser beam and then conducted to the intersection of the six cooling laser beams. The light in all six laser beams was slightly red-shifted compared with the characteristic colour absorbed by a stationary sodium atom. The effect was that whichever direction the sodium atoms tried to move they were met by photons of the right energy and pushed back into the area where the six laser beams intersected. At that point there formed what to the naked eye looked like a glowing cloud the size of a pea, consisting of about a million chilled atoms. This type of cooling was named Doppler cooling.

Quantum Properties of Light Quantum processes dominate the fields of atomic and molecular physics. The treatment here is limited to a review of the characteristics of absorption emission , and stimulated emission which are essential to an understanding of lasers and their applications. Atomic transitions which emit or absorb visible light are generally electronic transitions, which can be pictured in terms of electron jumps between quantized atomic energy levels. Interaction of radiation with matter Electromagnetic spectrum Index HyperPhysics ... Optics R Nave Go Back Lasers The stimulated emission of light is the crucial quantum process necessary for the operation of a laser. Population inversion Coherent light Index Laser concepts ... Optics R Nave Go Back Population Inversion The achievement of a significant population inversion in atomic or molecular energy states is a precondition for laser action. Electrons will normally reside in the lowest available energy state. They can be elevated to excited states by absorption, but no significant collection of electrons can be accumulated by absorption alone since both spontaneous emission and stimulated emission will bring them back down.
