A microphotonic astrocomb
(2019-01)A microphotonic astrocomb is demonstrated via temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in photonic-chip-based silicon nitride microresonators with a precision of 25?cm?s–1 (radial velocity equivalent), useful for Earth-like ... -
A three device silicon based platform for micro-assembly and characterization.
(2016-01-06)In order to improve the assembly process of microcomponents, three high precision mechanisms were developed. All of them were designed and fabricated at CSEM, through a silicon etching process (DRIE). The devices are an ... -
Absorption spectroscopy of 85Rb atoms at 420 nm: Pressure broadening with N2 buffer gas and saturation intensity
(2014-06)We experimentally measure the pressure broadening coefficient of absorption linewidth in the 85Rb 52S1/2-62P3/2 transition (420 nm wavelength) due to collisions with N2 buffer gas. In addition, we measure the saturation ... -
