High-power frequency-stabilized laser for laser cooling of metastable helium at 389 nm
A high-power, frequency-stabilized laser for cooling of metastable helium atoms using the 2  3S13  3P2 transition at 389 nm has been developed. The 389 nm light is generated by fre...

TCSPC upgrade of a confocal FCS microscope
We extended the measurement capabilities of the Carl Zeiss ConfoCor 1 FCS microscope by (a) using pulsed picosecond diode lasers instead of a continuous wave (CW) laser excitation, (b) introducing a f...

A simple, compact and inexpensive pressure-tuned Fabry–Pérot interferometer is presented. It is used as a laser locking reference for optical frequencies where the use of an atomic reference is impractical. The scanning range is several GHz. Absolute positioning of the interferometer with an accuracy of 7  MHz rms over a range of 2  GHz is possible. The instrument is temperature stabilized and shows long-term drift of 16  MHz rms over 48  h. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
