We are proud  to invite you to Skoltech Colloquium!

Guest Speaker: Prof. Dr. Martin Weitz, Professor of Experimental Physics, Institute of Applied Physics, University of Bonn, Germany.

When: November 7; 4:00pm

Where: Institute of Gene Biology RAS, ul. Vavilova 34/5, Conference room, 1st floor.

What: Laser Redistribution Cooling of Dense Gases

Abstract: Laser cooling of atomic gases via collisional redistribution of radiation is a novel cooling technique based on laser-induced transitions in a high pressure buffer gas environment. The cooled gas has a density of more than ten orders of magnitude above the typical values in Doppler cooling experiments of dilute atomic gases. In frequent collisions with noble gas atoms in the dense gas system atomic transitions are shifted into resonance with a highly red detuned laser beam, while spontaneous decay occurs close to the unperturbed transition frequency so that the ensemble is cooled. Future prospects of the cooling method include studies of supercooling beyond the homogeneous nucleation temperature and optical chillers.
