Trust in artificial intelligence within production management - an exploration of antecedents.

Industry 4.0, big data, predictive analytics, and robotics are leading to a paradigm shift on the shop floor of industrial production. However, complex, cognitive tasks are also subject of change, due to the development of artificial intelligence (AI).

Phase-coherent light pulses for atom optics and interferometry.

We have developed a novel source for the generation of powerful phase-coherent light pulses. Our setup uses an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) inside an external high-finesse resonator. By applying a short rf pulse to the AOM, we dump the cavity and extract a large part of the stored and enhanced power within a short optical pulse and with a controllable optical phase.
