Research Director: Dr Farrokh Sarreshtedari

Magnetic Resonance Research Laboratory (MRRL) is founded in 2016 by Dr. Farrokh Sarreshtedari in Department of Physics, University of Tehran. The research works of this laboratory include Magnetic Resonance devices and systems and Laser-atom interaction.

Magnetic Resonance devices and systems: MRRL aims to explore Magnetic Resonance (MR) towards investigating, designing and developing novel MR methods, devices and systems. Magnetic Resonance is a physical phenomenon which has the ability to give precise and highly detailed magnetic information of processes at the atomic level. It combines deep principles of quantum mechanics with numerous real-world applications, including MRI and NMR spectroscopy, MR based magnetometers, etc. Magnetic resonance physics can be categorized into two areas of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) which deals with the atomic nuclei spin and electron spin respectively. In MRRL, we are experimentally exploring both of these two fields of magnetic resonance. Some of the current MR projects include: Atomic magnetometer (Cesium), Proton precession magnetometers, Gradient spin echo enhanced PPM and Overhauser magnetometers.

Laser-atom interaction experiments: Laser-atom interaction is an interesting area of quantum physics which deals with manipulation of atomic states using resonant laser lights. Developing an Extended cavity diode laser (ECDL) with the ability of laser locking on atomic transitions, different laser-atom interaction experiments are in progress in MRRL. Some of these experiments include developing a Laser cooling system for cooling of Cesium atoms, developing an Electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) system, Atomic absorption and saturated spectroscopy, Implementing Laser locking by different methods, Atomic line filtering, etc.
