Welcome to Yavuz Lab!
Quantum Optics and Ultrafast Physics
|
Update in progress, 04-2023
Welcome! Yavuzlab is an experimental atomic physics group
at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. We
specialize in quantum optics and ultrafast physics.
Our research includes experimental, computational, and theoretical studies that seek to answer a variety of questions: |
 |
-
Can we use visible light to produce or resolve sub-nanometer images?
- Can we engineer the index of refraction in an atomic system to produce interesting behavior like lossless index enhancement or a negative index?
- Can we exploit the interaction of light and molecules in order to efficiently turn one laser into dozens of coherent lasers?
- Can we construct a continuous-wave "white laser," a broadband coherent light source capable of producing both sub-femtosecond pulses and arbitrary optical waveforms?
-
Can we localize populations of atoms to regions much smaller than a diffraction-limited spot?
We investigate these and a variety of other
problems in our two optics labs and through computer modeling.
