Tellurium Spectrometer for Transitions in Strontium and Other Alkaline-Earth Atoms
T. G. Akin, Bryan Hemingway, Steven Peil
We measure the spectrum of tellurium-130 in the vicinity of the 461~nm cycling transition in neutral strontium, a popular element for atomic clock…
Competition between Factors Determining Bright versus Dark Atomic States within a Laser Mode
Bryan Hemingway, T. G. Akin, Steven Peil +1
We observe bimodal fluorescence patterns from atoms in a fast atomic beam when the laser excitation occurs in the presence of a magnetic field and the atoms sample only a portion o…
Observation of Deeply-Bound Rb Vibrational Levels Using Feshbach Optimized Photoassociation
S. P. Krzyzewski, T. G. Akin, J. Dizikes +2
We demonstrate Feshbach optimized photoassociation (FOPA) into the SP) state in Rb. FOPA uses the enhancement of the amplitude of the i…
Electromagnetically induced transparency with Laguerre-Gaussian modes in ultracold rubidium
T. G. Akin, S. P. Krzyzewski, A. M. Marino +1
We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency with the control laser in a Laguerre-Gaussian mode. The transmission spectrum is studied in an ultracold gas for the D2 line…
Confinement of ultracold atoms in a Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam created with diffractive optics
Sharon A. Kennedy, G. W. Biedermann, J. Tom Farrar +3
We report 2D confinement of Rb 87 atoms in a Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam. Changing of the sign of the detuning from the atomic resonance dramatically alters the geometry of the co…
Bose-Einstein condensation transition studies for atoms confined in Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes
T. G. Akin, Sharon Kennedy, Ben Dribus +4
Multiply-connected traps for cold, neutral atoms fix vortex cores of quantum gases. Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes are ideal for such traps due to their phase stability. We report t…
