We report the first observation of optically trapped atoms.
We present the first experimental demonstration of a spatial instability in the nonlinear evolution of the state of polarization of an intense light beam in a birefringent Kerr-like medium.
We have studied the interaction of ~55 ps duration soliton pulse pairs over thousands of kilometers of optical fiber with loss periodically compensated by Raman gain.
We have observed a two-stage melting transition in a two-dimensional (2D) ultra-clean colloidal suspension of highly charged, submicron sized spheres in water using optical microscopy and digital
We have observed a two-step melting transition in a two dimensional system with classical screened Coulomb interactions.
Sensitivity of soft-decoded PM-8QAM was improved by 1.1-dB by moving to a new 64 point 4D constellation and to a tailored LDPC code.
In this experimental investigation two novel heat sink designs that employ different flow phenomena for enhanced heat transfer are presented.
We motivate the description of heavy-electron metals in terms of concepts from the Kondo problem. These concepts are used to discuss magnetism and superconductivity in heavy-electron systems.
Quantum noise reduction to levels nearly 1 dB below the standard quantum limit are reported for light frequencies near an atomic Na resonance.
First experimental results have been obtained on strong magnetic X-ray dichroism in the M(4,5) absorption spectra of magnetically ordered rare earth materials, in accordance with recent prediction
