Optical Frequency Combs and Precision Spectroscopy – Jason Stalnaker
Date: Tue. February 17th, 2015, 11:30 am-12:30 pmLocation: Rockefeller 221
Atomic spectroscopy has a long history of providing tests of fundamental physics. This tradition continues as the precision and accuracy of spectroscopic techniques improve. I will discuss the impact that the development of stabilized optical frequency combs has had on precision spectroscopy and describe an ongoing effort to study the atomic spectra of lithium at Oberlin College.
