"Toward Applications of Shaped Laser Fields to Ultracold Boson Systems"
4:00pm, RLM 5.104
Abstract: Progress toward the integration of a novel beam-shaping technique to systems of ultracold bosons is reported. Details of a comprehensive rebuild of a Bose-Einstein condensate machine and observations during the rebuild are discussed. Planned experiments depending on the future production of Bose-Einstein condensates are described, and further work necessary to achieve these goals is explained.
