Proceedings of the International School of Quantum Electronics 27th
course on Bose Einstein Condensates and Atom Lasers, October 19-24,
1999, Erice, Italy. Since the experimental demonstration of Bose
Einstein Condensation in dilute atomic gases there has been an
explosion of interest in the properties of this novel macroscopic
quantum system. The book covers the methods used to produce these
new samples of coherent atoms, their manipulation and the study of
their properties. Emphasis is given to the anticipated development
of new types of sources, which more and more resemble traditional
types of lasers. Because of recent new applications and increasing
demand for lasers, sensors and associated instrumentation, the
chapters also cover current developments in the basic techniques,
materials and applications in the field of the generation of
coherent atoms.
This volume contains the lectures and seminars presented at the
NATO Ad vanced Study Institute on "Solid State Lasers: New
Developments and Appli cations" the fifteenth course of the
Europhysics School of Quantum Electronics, held under the
supervision of the Quantum Electronics Division of the European
Physical Society. The Institute was held at Elba International
Physics Center, Marciana Marina, Elba Island, Tuscany, Italy,
August 31 -September 11, 1992. The Europhysics School of Quantum
Electronics was started in 1970 with the aim of providing
instruction for young researchers and advanced students al ready
engaged in the area of quantum electronics or wishing to switch to
this area from a different background. Presently the school is
under the direction of Professors F.T. Arecchi and M. Inguscio,
University of Florence, and Prof. H. Walther, University of Munich,
and has its headquarters at the National Insti tute of Optics
(INO), Florence, Italy. Each time the directors choose a subject of
particular interest, alternating fundamental topics with
technological ones, and ask colleagues specifically competent in a
given area to take the scientific responsibility for that course.
Atomic hydrogen, the simplest of all stable atoms, has been a
challenge to spectroscopists and theoreticians for many years.
Here, as in similar systems like positronium, muonium and possibly
helium, the accuracy of theoretical predictions is comparable to
that of experimental measurements. Hence exciting confrontations
are possible. This together with expected large experimental
improvements explains the strong interest in the symposium held in
Pisa in June-July 1988. The resulting book completely covers the
precision spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen and hydrogen-like
systems, and also discusses aspects of QED and the influence of
strong fields.
This volume contains the lectures and seminars presented at the
NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Applied Laser Spectroscopy" the
fourteenth course of the Europhysics School of Quantum Electronics,
held under the supervision of the Quantum Electronics Division of
the European Physical Society. The Institute was held at Centro "I
Cappuccini", San Miniato, Tuscany, Italy, September 3-15,1989. The
Europhysics School of Quantum Electronics was started in 1970 with
the aim of providing instruction for young researchers and advanced
students already engaged in the area of quantum electronics or
wishing to switch to this area from a different background.
Presently the school is under the direction of Professors F.T.
Arecchi and M Inguscio, University of Florence and Prof. H. Walther
University of Munich and has the headquarters at the National
Institute of Optics (INO), Firenze, Italy. Each time the directors
choose a subject of particular interest, alternating fundamental
topics with technological ones, and ask colleagues specifically
competent in a given area to take the scientific responsibility for
that course.
