Calcium Fluorescence
September 2017 In getting things ready to trap ions. We’ve observed calcium florescence on a hollow cathode lamp. This project is part of Matias Cveczilberg’s undergraduate Thesis. This laser will be used for REMPI ionization of neutral Calcium to get Read More …
LIAF – First two lasers
And it didn’t take long after the arrival of the optical tables for Luis and Ulises to measure their first PDH signal! And for Noelia to measure her first Rubidium absorption spectra! With our two lab spaces ready Read More …
LIAF – Infrastructure
We started heavy construction work installing new air conditioning, electrics, painting, shelves etc. Most of the work was done by Andres Lemes with help from good part of our technical department. And even before they were finished, we decided Read More …
LIAF – Moving in
We started building our new lab where previously M. Sigman had his Neuroscience lab, where previously H. Simon had his Optics Lab. This is how it looked just before the last occupants left: After some reordering we had our Read More …
