Details

"Laser Cooling and Trapping" by Harold J. Metcalf, Peter Van der Straten is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Cosmology. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.

Intended for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students who have some basic knowledge of optics and quantum mechanics, this text begins with a review of the relevant results of quantum mechanics before turning to the electromagnetic interactions involved in slowing and trapping atoms and ions, in both magnetic and optical traps. The concluding chapters discuss a broad range of applications, from atomic clocks and studies of collision processes to diffraction and interference of atomic beams at optical lattices and Bose-Einstein condensation.
