Light Propagation in Highly Confined Dense Atomic Vapors

克尼泽教授将使用这笔SGER赠款(用于探索性研究的小额赠款)来研究极高压力下碱性蒸气的光学性质。这项技术是用碱蒸汽填充超薄电池(厚度小于1微米)。随着压力的增加，吸收系数达到恒定值时，透光光谱学将被用于研究预测的高压透明度。

Professor Knize will use this SGER grant (small grants for exploratory research) to investigate the optical properties of alkali vapors at very high pressure. The technique is to make ultra-thin cells (less than one micron in thickness) filled with alkali vapor. Light transmission spectroscopy will be used to study predicted high-pressure transparency as the absorption coefficient reaches a constant value with increasing pressure.
