Research

Our research is focused in atomic, molecular and optical (AMO)
physics and in photonics. Our recent activities include laser cooling
and trapping of alkaline-earth atoms, precision spectroscopy with
lasers, coherent effects, optical atomic clocks, THz generation and
development of new laser tecnology.

Our labs offer one of the best conditions for research in AMO physics
and lasers in Brazil and we keep collaborations with several leading
groups around the world. We offer research positions both at graduate
and undergraduate levels. Admission into Master or PhD programs is
through our institute graduate office and occurs twice a year. There are
possibilities of scholarships from CNPq, CAPES and FAPESP. Post
doc positions are also available at any time, with possible
scholarships from the same agencies.
