Download or read book Simulation and Experiment in Laser Metrology written by Zoltan Füzessy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1996 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings document about 45 contributions to the International Symposium on Laser Applications in Precision Measurement held in Balatonfüred/Hungary during June 3–6, 1996. Special emphasis was given to the Combination of Simulation and Experiment in Laser Metrology. International experts provide a survey over a large variety of their latest achievements and developments in this rapidly advancing field. Over the last years, optical measurement techniques like structured illumination, holographic interferometry and tomography were applied more and more in combination with CAE–tools such as CAD and FEM. This combination has found a world of new applications in scientific and industrial branches interested in highly exact but nondestructive and noncontact measurement of technical components. Each of the four sections contains an overview article given by international leading experts. With that the proceedings should be considered to be a state–of–the–art report combining the areas of mathematical modeling of objects, experimental testing under definite stresses, computer–aided evaluation and measuring of objects.

Download or read book Pumping an Atom Laser written by Graham Russell Dennis and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurement is our fundamental tool for learning about the world around us. It is from observing trends in measurements that we develop the theories that enable us to predict future behaviour, and it is against measurements that we determine the validity of these theories. Increases in the precision of our measurements are fundamental to our understanding. Atom interferometry is a new method for performing precision measurements that uses the matter-wave nature of atoms to perform interferometry experiments analogous to those performed with photons. However, in contrast to optical interferometry, which uses coherent sources of photons, atom interferometry uses thermal atomic sources, in part due to the unavailability of high-flux coherent atomic sources. Although pulsed coherent atomic sources are presently available, continuous sources are not. Creating a truly continuous coherent source for atoms is tricker than for photons. One of the largest challenges is that atom number is conserved. A source of atoms is therefore necessary to produce a truly continuous atom laser. This source must be used to replenish the lasing mode of the atom laser, and the process must operate without significantly disturbing the coherence properties of the lasing mode. It is this replenishment or pumping process that has been investigated theoretically in this thesis. There are only two choices for the reservoir that makes the replenishment (or pumping) process of an atom laser irreversible: the empty modes of the optical field, and the empty modes of the atomic field. Processes of both forms are considered. Using an optical reservoir has the advantage that atoms are not necessarily lost as part of the pumping process, which is necessary when using an atomic reservoir. The efficiency of processes using an optical reservoir can therefore be higher. Using an atomic reservoir, however, has the advantage that it is easier to implement as one can use the standard experimental technique of evaporation which is commonly used in the production of pulsed coherent atomic sources. We show theoretically in this thesis that although it is possible to produce a continuous atom laser using an atomic reservoir, the flux achieved in the geometry considered is insufficient to compete with pulsed coherent atomic sources for precision measurement. The results for the pumping process using an optical reservoir are more promising. Although condensed sources were used as the source for this process, a detailed comparison of the theoretical calculations and experimental results indicate that the detrimental reabsorption processes are suppressed. This suggests that it may be possible to use higher-flux thermal atomic sources to replenish the lasing mode of an atom laser with this pumping process.

Download or read book Fourier Transform Spectroscopy Instrumentation Engineering written by Vidi Saptari and published by SPIE Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many applications today require the Fourier-transform (FT) spectrometer to perform close to its limitations, such as taking many quantitative measurements in the visible and in the near infrared wavelength regions. In such cases, the instrument should not be considered as a perfect "black box." Knowing where the limitations of performance arise and which components must be improved are crucial to obtaining repeatable and accurate results. One of the objectives of this book is to help the user identify the instrument's bottleneck.

This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal noise from optical coatings is a growing area of concern and overcoming limits to the sensitivity of high precision measurements by thermal noise is one of the greatest challenges faced by experimental physicists. In this timely book, internationally renowned scientists and engineers examine our current theoretical and experimental understanding. Beginning with the theory of thermal noise in mirrors and substrates, subsequent chapters discuss the technology of depositing coatings and state-of-the-art dielectric coating techniques used in precision measurement. Applications and remedies for noise reduction are also covered. Individual chapters are dedicated to specific fields where coating thermal noise is a particular concern, including the areas of quantum optics/optomechanics, gravitational wave detection, precision timing, high-precision laser stabilisation via optical cavities and cavity quantum electrodynamics. While providing full mathematical detail, the text avoids field-specific jargon, making it a valuable resource for readers with varied backgrounds in modern optics.
