We utilize various techniques to characterize the residual phase modulation of a waveguide-
based Mach-Zehnder electro-optical intensity modulator. A heterodyne technique is used to …

We have developed a means to control rapidly frequency-chirped laser light at large
detuning, by controlling the input modulation frequency of a ∼∼ 7 GHz signal into an …

We propose a single electro-optic amplitude modulator to modulate both the intensity and
the phase of the light of a diode laser to produce frequency-chirped light pulses in the …

The key element in the Proton-Driven-Plasma-Wake-Field-Accelerator (PWFA) project is the
generation of highly uniform plasma from Rubidium vapor. A scientifically straightforward …

We have developed a laser system to generate frequency-chirped light at rapid modulation
speeds (∼ 100 MHz) with a large frequency offset. Light from an external cavity diode laser …

We study the force exerted on two-level atoms by short, counterpropagating laser pulses.
When the counterpropagating pulses overlap each other partially, multiphoton adiabatic …

We study the quantum control of multilevel atoms with rotationally degenerate levels using
short laser pulses. Various control schemes are considered, ones using π pulses, frequency …

We present results of experimental and theoretical studies of coherent momentum transfer to
rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap by pairs of counter-propagating frequency …

We have developed experimental methods for the generation of chirped laser pulses of
controlled frequency evolution in the nanosecond pulse length range for coherent atomic …

A system for producing phase-and amplitude-shaped pulses on a timescale of 150 ps to 10
ns has been developed using fiber-coupled lithium niobate phase and amplitude …
