A thermoelastic limit on the focal intensity in Fabry-Pérot cavities
Jeremy J. Axelrod, Lothar Maisenbacher, Ashwin Singh +4
Light in the mode of a Fabry-Pérot cavity heats the mirror surfaces via optical absorption, causing thermoelastic deformation of the mirror substrates, which in turn dictates the s…
Ultrahigh continuous-wave intensities in high-NA optical cavities through suppression of the parametric oscillatory instability
L. Maisenbacher, A. Singh, I. M. Pope +1
Ultrahigh continuous-wave intensities (>300 GW/cm) in high-NA optical cavities enable applications from phase-contrast electron microscopy to ultradeep dipole traps for molecul…
Sub-part-per-trillion test of the Standard Model with atomic hydrogen
Lothar Maisenbacher, Vitaly Wirthl, Arthur Matveev +4
Quantum electrodynamics (QED), the first relativistic quantum field theory, describes light-matter interactions at a fundamental level and is one of the pillars of the Standard Mod…
Microscopy of Bioelectric Potentials using Electrochromism
Burhan Ahmed, Erica Liu, Lothar Maisenbacher +7
Studying the electrical signals generated by living cells is key to understanding numerous biological phenomena. Electrochromic optical recording (ECORE) uses the electrochromism e…
Precision spectroscopy of the 2S-P transitions in atomic hydrogen
Lothar Maisenbacher
Precision spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen is an important way to test bound-state quantum electrodynamics (QED), one of the building blocks of the Standard Model. In its simplest f…
Compact Electrochromic Optical Recording of Bioelectric Potentials
Kenneth Nakasone, Chris Zavik, Erica Liu +7
Electrochromic optical recording (ECORE) is a label-free method that utilizes electrochromism to optically detect electrical signals in biological cells with a high signal-to-noise…
Long-distance chronometric leveling with a portable optical clock
J. Grotti, I. Nosske, S. B. Koller +19
We have measured the geopotential difference between two locations separated by by comparison of two optical lattice clocks via an interferometric fiber link, uti…
Dynamics of a buffer-gas-loaded, deep optical trap for molecules
Ashwin Singh, Lothar Maisenbacher, Ziguang Lin +3
We describe an approach to optically trapping small, chemically stable molecules at cryogenic temperatures by buffer-gas loading a deep optical dipole trap. The ~10 K trap depth wi…
A nanoscale vacuum-tube diode triggered by few-cycle laser pulses
Takuya Higuchi, Lothar Maisenbacher, Andreas Liehl +2
We propose and demonstrate a nanoscale vacuum-tube diode triggered by few-cycle near-infrared laser pulses. It represents an ultrafast electronic device based on light fields, expl…
Tracing the phase of focused broadband laser pulses
Dominik Hoff, Michael Krüger, Lothar Maisenbacher +3
Precise knowledge of the behaviour of the phase of light in a focused beam is fundamental to understanding and controlling laser-driven processes. More than a hundred years ago an…
Deuteron charge radius and Rydberg constant from spectroscopy data in atomic deuterium
Randolf Pohl, François Nez, Thomas Udem +11
We give a pedagogical description of the method to extract the charge radii and Rydberg constant from laser spectroscopy in regular hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) atoms, that is pa…
Atom interferometry in an optical cavity
Paul Hamilton, Matt Jaffe, Justin M. Brown +3
We propose and demonstrate a new scheme for atom interferometry, using light pulses inside an optical cavity as matter wave beamsplitters. The cavity provides power enhancement, sp…
