World record for optical time delay device realized by Vescent scientists
Vescent staff scientist Seth Johnson and engineer Neil Rebolledo recently realized ~20 nsec of control over optical time delays, with consistent optical throughput’s of greater than 90%; the time step resolution was ~250 psecs. To our knowledge this is the first time such large delays, with such high resolution step sizes and optical clarity have been demonstrated. [...]
Cold atom work from Vescent scientist published in PRL
Staff scientist Juan Pino recently has his work on “Measurements of Tan’s Contact in an Atomic Bose-Einstein Condensate” published Physical Review Letters. ” This was work he performed while in the groups of Deborah Jin and Eric Cornell at JILA. The article may be viewed here: http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.145305, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.145305
Visit the Vescent booth at CLEO 2012, booth #1639
Vescent will have a booth on the trade show floor at the 2012 CLEO conference. As usual, we will have a suite of demonstrations running, both for our long-running favorite ultra-stable cold atom laser systems and for new products. Stop by booth #1639 and talk with one of our scientists about how our technology can [...]
Vescent scientists presenting at 2012 DAMOP conference
Dr. Sarah Bickman and Dr. Juan Pino, both Vescent staff scientists, will be presenting posters at the 2012 DAMOP meeting. Dr. Bickman will be presenting new techniques to realize very compact and low power optical shutter systems for cold-atom based experiments. Dr. Pino will be presenting a new, atomically referenced lasers system that includes a [...]
Vescent presenting at NRO technology seminar
VP of technology, Dr. Scott Davis, will be providing a technology seminar as part of an on-going series at the National Reconnaissance Office. The topic will be new techniques for realizing unprecedented optical time delays. He will present new results for realizing greater than 20 nanoseconds of tuning with optical throughputs greater than 90%.
