Primary Project:  Autler Townes Spectroscopy:
In collaboration with Prof. Frank Spano, Dr. Teodora Kirova, Dr. Ergin Ahmed, Dr. Peng Qi and Dr. Angelos Lazoudis

Coherence and Quantum Interference effects in the laser molecule interaction and their applications.

• Absolute magnitude of the molecular electronic transition dipole moment and its internuclear distance dependence.
• High resolution quadruple resonance spectroscopy, a coherently driven five level system and its applications.
• Control of valence electron spin polarization through modification of singlet triplet mixing coefficients of pair of rovibronic levels mixed by spin-orbit interaction.
• The role of Doppler effect in quantum interference effects e.g. laser wavelength ratio dependence of AT splitting and EIT in the cascade excitation system.
