  • Having a Good Time: a Triumph of Science & Technology
    UDC’s Office of Research & Graduate Studies, SEAS, LSAMP, & STEM Center Invite You to a Seminar on Having a Good Time: A Triumph of Science & Technology Presented by Dr. William D. Phillips, NIST Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1997 © Robert Rathe © Robert Rathe Date: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 Time: 12:30 PM Location: Building 41-A03 Abstract: People have long been interested in timekeeping. In the 18th century, this interest became particularly keen because of technological demands: the need for accurate navigation on the high seas. While many people believed that the answer to sufficiently good timekeeping at sea would be found in astronomical measurements, it was earthbound engineering that literally won the prize. The construction of accurate seagoing clocks revolutionized navigation in the 18th and 19th centuries. The advent of even more accurate clocks—atomic clocks—in the 20th century gave birth to a new revolution in navigation—the Global Positioning System. This ever-more advanced system for satellite navigation owes its success both to excellent engineering and to seemingly arcane science. Dr. William D. Phillips is a Senior Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where he leads the Laser Cooling and Trapping Group. He shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics with Dr. Steven Chu, now Secretary of Energy, and with Dr. Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, an Algerian-born French physicist, “for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light.” With a physics bachelor’s degree from Juniata College in Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. from MIT, Phillips started his career at NIST only a few years after it left UDC’s Van Ness campus for its location in Gaithersburg.

  • Laser Spectroscopy to Resolve Hyperfine Structure of Rubidium
    Laser spectroscopy to resolve hyperfine structure of rubidium Hannah Saddler, Adam Egbert, and Will Weigand (Dated: 12 November 2015) This experiment had two main goals: to create an absorption spectrum for rubidium using the technique of absorption spectroscopy and to resolve the hyperfine structures for the two rubidium isotopes using saturation absorption spectroscopy. The absorption spectrum was used to determine the frequency difference between the ground state and first excited state for both isotopes. The calculated frequency difference was 6950 MHz ± 90 MHz for rubidium 87 and 3060 MHz ± 60 MHz for rubidium 85. Both values agree with the literature values. The hyperfine structure for rubidium 87 was able to be resolved using this experimental setup. The energy differences were determined to be 260 MHz ± 10 MHz and 150 MHz ± 10 Mhz MHz. The hyperfine structure for rubidium 85 was unable to be resolved using this experimental setup. Additionally the theory of doppler broadening was used to make measurements of the full width half maximum. These values were used to calculate a temperature of 310K ± 40 K which makes sense because the experiments were performed at room temperature. I. INTRODUCTION in the theory section and how they were manipulated and used to derive the results from the recorded data. Addi- tionally there is an explanation of experimental error and The era of modern spectroscopy began with the in- uncertainty associated the results. Section V is a conclu- vention of the laser.

  • Laser Spectroscopy Experiments
    Hyperfine Spectrum of Rubidium: laser spectroscopy experiments Physics 480W (Dated: Sp19 Paper #4) I. OBJECTIVES FOR THESE EXPERIMENTS We wish to use the technique of absorption spec- troscopy to probe and detect the energy level structure of atomic Rubidium, Rb I, whose ground state is split by a tiny amount on account of nuclear magnetism. In effect, the spectroscopy we do today tells us about nuclear prop- erties and so combines atomic and nuclear physics. The main result of this experiment, the 4th of the semester, is to 1. measure the hyperfine splitting for each isotope, and compare with accepted values, with the fol- lowing details in mind: (a) what is the hyperfine splitting of the ground 2 state, S1=2 term? Do we need saturation- absorption techniques for this? (b) what are the hyperfine splittings of the ex- 2 cited state, P3=2 term, that can be reached with a nominal wavelength of 780nm from the ground state? Here we need saturation- absorption techniques to perform sub-Doppler FIG. 1. Note the four 'blobs'. Why are there four? Which spectroscopy, certainly.
