Summary
Experimental chapter describing different experiments allowing us to accurately measure physical parameters, such as very small concentrations of atomic species by intensity monitoring, the observation of gravitational waves using giant interferometers, transverse positioning of light beams, transition frequencies of metrological interest using laser frequency combs, and magnetometry of ultra-small magnetic fields using superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs).
