Hi Everyone, Our next LQS group meeting will be Tuesday, May 13, at 3 PM Eastern/12 noon Pacific. Those of us at MIT can meet in the LNS conference room; those at SLAC, in the MIT office in the Central Lab Annex. Dial-in: 510-665-5437, passcode 7336. Agenda: 1) Round-the-table updates. 2) For discussion: "Non-critically squeezed light via spontaneous retational symmetry breaking", http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.0212 (v4). See also the Phys Rev Focus online article at http://focus.aps.org/story/v21/st16. Highlights: pushing the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to its limits along with spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in an optical cavity. Also interesting is the robustness of the effect against imperfections in the cavity walls and insensitivity to the driving laser's intensity levels.
