Graduate Studies in “Microelectronics and Optoelectronics”
Thesis Title: Construction of a Cesium Magneto-optical Trap and Non-destructive Temperature Measurement Using Spin Polarization Fluctuations (supervisor: Prof I.Kominis )

 

During my Master Thesis I developed the first experiment of atom cooling and
trapping in the laboratory of Quantum Technology in the Institute of Electronic
Structure and Laser in the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas. In
particular I developed a Magneto-Optical Trap of Caesium (Cs) atoms. I worked on
the development of a new non-destructive method for measuring the
temperature of the Magneto-Optical Trap, through spin-noise spectroscopy.
