Electro-Optical Modulators Empower Lasers for Science Applications
Scientific fields such as atomic physics, chemistry, biology and even astronomy are inspired by the use of lasers and ultimately will benefit from the addition of electro-optical modulators. The fundamental research fields of laser spectroscopy and, eventually, laser cooling were the first real driving forces behind the need for high-precision lasers. Ultracold atomic physics, which is based on laser cooling, is a vivid research field that examines phenomena such as superfluidity, where
