Abstract

This thesis presents data from optical lattices using fluorescence imaging andpump-probe spectroscopy. From these experimental techniques we obtaininformation on the diffusion constant and vibrational frequencies of atoms confinedin an optical lattice as a function of various lattice parameters. We see clearevidence of vibrational resonances which is a definite signature of optical lattices.These resonances are clearly distinguishable from Brillouin effects. We also discussbriefly our progress toward the measurement of photon correlations in lightscattered by cold atoms. Advisors/Committee Members: Bali, Samir (Advisor).
