Optical frequency comparison of the 40Ca+ clock transition \nu_{Ca} (2S1/2-2D5/2, 729nm) against the 87Sr optical lattice clock transition \nu_{Sr}(1S0-3P0, 698nm) has resulted in a frequency ratio \nu_{Ca} / \nu_{Sr} = 0.957 631 202 358…

Random scattering of light in disordered media is an intriguing phenomenon of fundamental relevance to various applications. While techniques such as wavefront shaping and transmission matrix measurements have enabled remarkable progress…

We report laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy of the \({}^{1}S_{0}\rightarrow{}^{3}P_{1}\) intercombination transition in neutral zinc at \(307.6~\mathrm{nm}\). Isotope shifts are measured for all stable isotopes with kHz-level…

This paper reports on a detailed performance characterization of a recently developed optical single-sideband (OSSB) laser system based on an IQ modulator and second-harmonic generation for rubidium atom interferometry experiments. The…

We present a method to measure the spectral density of in-band optical transmission impairments without coherent electrical reception and digital signal processing at the receiver. We determine the method's accuracy by numerical simulations…

We consider how some methods of uniform and nonuniform interpolation by translates of radial basis functions -- specifically the so-called general multiquadrics -- perform in the presence of certain types of noise. These techniques provide…

We introduce a simple and robust scheme for optical frequency transfer of an ultra-stable source light field via an optical frequency comb to a field at a target optical frequency, where highest stability is required, e.g. for the…

We demonstrate an optical frequency analysis method using the Fourier transform of detection times of fluorescence photons emitted from a single trapped 40Ca+ ion. The response of the detected photon rate to the relative laser frequency…

The invariance of the speed of light in the distant universe has profound significance for fundamental physics. In this paper, we propose a new model-independent method to test the invariance of the speed of light $c$ at different redshifts…

Optical light curves of bright BL Lac objects, in particular those having the SED synchrotron peak at frequencies lower than 10E14 Hz, are characterized by long-term trends with time scales of a few decades. These variations are probabily…

We report on high resolution spectra of the bright QSO HS0747+4259 (zem = 1.90, V = 15.8) observed to search for intermediate redshift OVI absorption systems. The spectra were obtained by means of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph…

An inner-shell orbital clock transition $^1S_0 \leftrightarrow 4f^{13}5d6s^2 \: (J=2)$ in neutral ytterbium atoms has attracted much attention as a new optical frequency standard as well as a highly sensitive probe for several new physics…

We calculate the Lamb, fine and hyperfine shifts in $b\bar b$ with $n=2$, $l=0,1$. Radiative corrections as well as leading nonperturbative corrections (known to be due to the gluon condensate) are taken into account. The calculation is…

Advanced techniques for manipulation of internal states, standard in atomic physics, are demonstrated for a charged molecular species for the first time. We address individual hyperfine states of ro-vibrational levels of a diatomic ion by…

The neutral oxygen resonance 1302A line can, if the optical depth is sufficiently high, de-excite by an intercombination transition at 1641A to a metastable state. This has been noted in a number of previous studies but never systematically…

We report absolute frequency measurements of the molecular iodine P(46) 5-4 $a_{1}$, $a_{10}$, and $a_{15}$ hyperfine transitions at 647 nm with a fiber-based frequency comb. The light source is based on a Littrow-type external-cavity diode…

We compare performances of ground-based single-mode and multimode (speckle) interferometers in the presence of partial Adaptive Optics correction of atmospheric turbulence. It is first shown that for compact sources (i.e. sources smaller…

We obtain the viscous and diffusive fundamental solution for monochromatic internal waves in a uniformly stratified medium and for anisotropic Brinkman flow. These solutions take the form of single integrals with logarithmic singularities,…

Spin noise (SN) spectroscopy measurements on delicate semiconductor spin systems, like single InGaAs quantum dots, are currently not limited by optical shot noise but rather by the electronic noise of the detection system. Here, we report a…

Aims. To obtain limits on the variation of the fine-structure constant alpha and the electron-to-proton mass ratio mu over different cosmological epochs. Methods. A new approach based on the comparison of redshifts of far infrared (FIR)…
