Dynamics and Optical control of a single spin in a Quantum Dot
We have studied the dynamic properties of a single spin (Mn impurity or resident electron) in a II-VI semiconductor quantum dot. A quantum dot doped with a single Mn... -
Molecular MRI based on hyperpolarized xenon
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has a high importance in medicine as it enables the observation of the organs inside the body without the use of radiative or invasive... -
Vertical external cavity semiconductor laser emitting at 1550 nm, and perspec...
Optically-Pumped Vertical-External-Cavity Semiconductor-Lasers (OP-VECSELs) present high power circular diffraction limited output beams. Moreover, the external cavity... -
Rovibrational cooling of cesium molecules through optical pumping
The focus of this thesis is the manipulation of the internal degrees of freedom of translationally cold cesium molecules produced by photoassociation of cold atoms.... -
Optical pumping in Silicon thin films
Silicon is a potentially promising material for spintronics due to its long spin relaxation time. At the same time, classical approaches to the study of the conduction... -
Experiments in atom interferometry : measurement of the He-McKellar-Wilkens a...
The family of topological phases of electromagnetic origin consists of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase predicted in 1959 and of the Aharonov-Casher (AC) and...
