	Laser trapping of erbium may lead to novel devices
		The erbium atoms can be trapped at a density that is high enough to be a good starting point for making a Bose-Einstein condensate, an unusual, very uniform state of matter used in NIST research on quantum computing.
		Cold trapped erbium also might be useful for producing single photons, the smallest particles of light, at wavelengths used in telecommunications.
		In addition, trapped erbium atoms might be used for "doping" semiconductors with small amounts of impurities to tailor their properties.

		The erbium can also be used for a well-blended result around the eyes and upper lip without the CO2 laser telltale line of demarcation.
		Because the erbium laser produces less heat, the risk for both hyper- and hypo-pigmentation is greatly reduced in comparison to other lasers.
		Our patients also appreciate the lower cost of erbium laser treatments which average approximately one half the fees of CO2 laser treatments (Year 2,000 full face erbium treatment is only $3,000 in our Yuba City, CA, facility which includes all anesthesia, operating room and post-op fees for one year).

	Laser Cooling of Erbium Atoms (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A 401-nm laser beam (traveling from left to right) slows erbium atoms as the emerge from an oven at 1300°C. Motivated by a desire to expand our capabilities in making deterministic sources of atoms with a range of technologically significant species, we are investigating laser cooling of erbium atoms.
		Erbium is primarily interesting because of its optical properties as a rare earth dopant -; a deterministic source of erbium atoms could lead, for example, to controlled fabrication of novel single-atom photonic devices.
		Our studies have revealed, though, that erbium also has unique laser cooling properties that could lead to advances in quantum optics, quantum degenerate gases, cold collision studies, and atomic clocks.

	The Little Chill
		Other researchers have seen the effect with other elements, but erbium would allow cooling at wavelengths and powers reachable by common laser diodes, suggesting that small refrigeration devices for electronics and other high-tech purposes might be possible.
		Erbium, though, has always been of interest to researchers, says Zameer Hasan of Temple University in Philadelphia, whose group has been working with erbium-doped materials.
		But erbium has a more complicated energy level scheme than the other two elements, which has made some researchers skeptical that a material could be engineered with the right set of atomic vibrations to make it work, Hasan says.
