The stabilization of lasers to absolute frequency references is a fundamental requirement in
several areas of atomic, molecular and optical physics. A range of techniques are available …

The laser cooling of atoms to ultracold temperatures has propelled many groundbreaking
advances in fundamental research and precision measurement, through such applications …

This thesis describes the design and construction of a new magneto optical trap that is
suitable for use in integrated atom chips and other vacuum systems in which optical access …

Atom interferometry based gravity gradiometers are capable of operating with unparalleled
sensitivity when compared to their classical counterparts. This makes them ideal candidates …

This thesis unifies the dissipative dynamics of an atom, particle or structure within an optical
field that is influenced by the position of the atom, particle or structure itself. This allows the …

This thesis is concerned with the development and characterisation of an actively mode
locked diode laser system for the provision of a stable optical frequency comb spanning …

Cold atom samples, at temperatures of the order 100 µK, are useful for a wide reaching
array of new and exciting technological and scientific endeavours. Atoms are conventionally …

Atom interferometry is a rapidly progressing field of contemporary research, offering
unprecedented measurement sensitivity to space-time and its distortion. This sensitivity …

In order to realise the Raman system described in the previous chapter, we require an
ultracold sample of rubidium atoms isolated from their environment, and a means to prepare …
