Dylan Yost receives NSF CAREER Award

January 18, 2017 /

01/18/2017 Principle Investigator, Dylan Yost, has just received the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award to investigate laser cooling of atomic hydrogen. This award is given in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars and is meant to integrate education and research.

 

New publication: Yb fiber amplifier at 972.5 nm with frequency quadrupling to 243.1 nm

December 19, 2016 /

12/19/2016 We just published our first paper in applied physics B on our 243nm laser system.

Abstract:

We demonstrate a continuous-wave ytterbium-
doped fiber amplifier which produces 6.3 W at a wave-
length of 972.5 nm. We frequency-quadruple this source
in two resonant doubling stages to generate 530 mW at
243.1 nm. Radiation at this wavelength is required to excite
the 1S–2S transition in atomic hydrogen and could there-
fore find application in experimental studies of hydrogen
and anti-hydrogen.
