Biography

Ove Axner works on the development of laser-based measurement techniques for the sensitive detection of atoms and molecules in the gas phase, primarily focusing on analytical laser spectroscopy and refractometry. He is affiliated with the Department of Physics at Umeå University, where he leads the Laser Physics Group. His research involves the development of ultra-sensitive detection techniques that allow for the detection of extremely low concentrations of molecules in various phases. His team has undertaken significant projects, including the 'Quantum Molar Density' and 'Quantum Pascal,' aimed at advancing optical measurement techniques for assessing refractivity, density, and pressure of gases. Axner's work is instrumental in enhancing precision measurement capabilities in gas detection, employing purely optical techniques to assess refractive index and other properties.
