Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg dressed gas

A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +3

We perform a comprehensive investigation of the coupling between a Rydberg-dressed atomic gas and an ultra-cold plasma. Using simultaneous time-resolved measurements of both neutra…

A Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap

A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +4

We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By off-resonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high…

Quantitative simulation of a magneto-optical trap operating near the photon recoil limit

Ryan K. Hanley, Paul Huillery, Niamh C. Keegan +3

We present a quantitative model for magneto-optical traps operating on narrow transitions, where the transition linewidth and the recoil shift are comparable. We combine a quantum…

Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection

Ryan K. Hanley, Alistair D. Bounds, Paul Huillery +5

We demonstrate a method for probing interaction effects in a thermal beam of strontium atoms using simultaneous measurements of Rydberg EIT and spontaneously created ions or electr…

Difference-frequency combs in cold atom physics

Russell Kliese, Nazanin Hoghooghi, Thomas Puppe +12

Optical frequency combs provide the clockwork to relate optical frequencies to radio frequencies. Hence, combs allow to measure optical frequencies with respect to a radio frequenc…

A tunable CW UV laser with <35 kHz absolute frequency instability for precision spectroscopy of Sr Rydberg states

Elizabeth M. Bridge, Niamh C. Keegan, Alistair D. Bounds +3

We present a solid-state laser system that generates over 200 mW of continuous-wave, narrowband light, tunable from 316.3 nm - 317.7 nm and 318.0 nm - 319.3 nm. The laser is based…
