Laser Spectroscopy Podcast

We look at sources of laser frequency noise and discuss feedback techniques using a reference cavity or a molecular transition to stabilize the laser frequency.

We look at pump probe methods using ultrafast pulses for high temporal resolution experiments.

We look at transient effects in laser gain material, -switching and mode locking as methods to get short pulses.
