Short Projects

Hands-on student projects · Short & medium · Open now

In addition to our main research lines we offer short projects from time to time that students can take on to gain experience working in an experimental physics laboratory. Interested in one of the projects below? Get in touch with its contact person, or just come and visit the lab.

MASTER SLAVE λ = 399 nm · 460 nm Short Project

Injection-Locked Lasers 注入鎖定雷射

Constructing injection-locked lasers at 399 nm and 460 nm — seed a low-cost laser diode with light from a master laser so it faithfully amplifies the master's colour. Hands-on optics, electronics and laser physics.

Fabry-Pérot Optical Spectrum Analyser 光學頻譜分析儀

Constructing a Fabry-Pérot optical spectrum analyser for monitoring our injection-locked lasers — build the cavity, scan it, and watch the laser's spectrum resolve into sharp resonance peaks in real time.

Medium Project

AI-Assisted Experimental Control AI 輔助實驗控制

Enhance our control system by augmenting it with an AI assistant that can talk to the operator and provide real-time data analysis and support — a chance to combine modern AI tools with a working cold-atom experiment.

Medium Project

Optical Cavity for Atoms 原子光學共振腔

Developing high-finesse optical cavities for interacting atoms with photons — the building block behind cavity QED, superradiant lasers and atom–photon quantum interfaces.

Ti:Sa Δν ↓ Medium Project

Ti:Sapphire Linewidth Narrowing 鑭藍寶石雷射線寬窄化

We will develop a high-finesse optical cavity and lock a titanium-sapphire laser to it to narrow the laser's linewidth — the standard technique behind today's most stable lasers.

Rydberg Spectroscopy with an Atomic Beam Source 原子束里德堡光譜

We will assemble a simplified oven-based atomic beam source to provide a high-flux atom source for Rydberg spectroscopy — probing giant, highly excited atoms with wildly exaggerated properties.

AI ✦ Medium Project

Miniature Atom Sources & 3D-Printed UHV Systems 微型原子源與 3D 列印真空系統

With the help of AI we will design and 3D-print miniature ultrahigh-vacuum systems and atom sources suitable for future quantum-technology applications.
