Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science, Miami University, Physics.
This thesis presents data from optical lattices using fluorescence imaging and pump-probe spectroscopy. From these experimental techniques we obtain information on the diffusion constant and vibrational frequencies of atoms confined in an optical lattice as a function of various lattice parameters. We see clear evidence of vibrational resonances which is a definite signature of optical lattices. These resonances are clearly distinguishable from Brillouin effects. We also discuss briefly our progress toward the measurement of photon correlations in light scattered by cold atoms.
