Laser cooling
In laser cooling, laser beams slow down atoms through the Doppler effect by absorbing photons, which reduces their kinetic energy. This brings the temperature of the atoms closer to absolute zero, which makes quantum phenomena researchable.
Laser Doppler Vibrometry
Optical and non-destructive measurement method for determining vibrations. It is based on the Doppler effect and interferometry.
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)
Laser-Powder-Bed-Fusion is an additive manufacturing process (3D printing) in which powdered material is applied in layers to a base plate and melted using laser radiation.
Laser trapping
In laser trapping, atoms are held in an optical trap. Laser beams generate an electromagnetic field that traps atoms due to the radiation pressure. This enables the precise control and manipulation of atoms, often as part of experiments with ultracold atoms.
