Gooch & Housego Wins £364K to Develop 'Freeze Ray'

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
TORQUAY, England, July 30, 2015 — Gooch & Housego PLC has been awarded £364,000 (about $569,000) in U.K. funding to lead development of a miniature, high-power fiber system for laser cooling in practical environments. The Freeze-Ray project also involves e2v Technologies PLC of Essex, which will develop a compact vacuum chamber with an integrated magneto optical trap, and the Midlands Ultracold Atom Research Centre at the University of Birmingham, which will demonstrate the system in state-of-the-art atom cooling experiments. Low-temperature atoms exhibit special properties and can be used to create...Read full article

    laser cooling
    A process and method by which manipulation and orientation of a given number of directed laser beams decreases the motion of a group of atoms or molecules such that their internal thermodynamic temperatures reach near absolute zero. The 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips for the development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light.
