Transmission spectroscopy of a single atom in the presence of tensor light shifts
Matthias Steiner, Yue-Sum Chin, Christian Kurtsiefer
We investigate the interplay between Zeeman and light shifts in the transmission spectrum of an optically trapped, spin-polarized Rubidium atom. The spectral shape of the transmiss…
Polarization gradient cooling of single atoms in optical dipole traps
Yue-Sum Chin, Matthias Steiner, Christian Kurtsiefer
We experimentally investigate - polarization gradient cooling~(PGC) of a single Rb atom in a tightly focused dipole trap and show that the cooling limit strongly d…
Nonlinear photon-atom coupling with 4Pi microscopy
Yue-Sum Chin, Matthias Steiner, Christian Kurtsiefer
Implementing nonlinear interactions between single photons and single atoms is at the forefront of optical physics. Motivated by the prospects of deterministic all-optical quantum…
Quantifying the role of thermal motion in free-space light-atom interaction
Yue-Sum Chin, Matthias Steiner, Christian Kurtsiefer
We demonstrate 17.7(1)% extinction of a weak coherent field by a single atom. We observe a shift of the resonance frequency and a decrease in interaction strength with the external…
