Super-molasses returns: All optical near-resonance laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms from background vapor
Matt Himsworth, Chester Camm, Max Carey +12
Laser cooled and trapped atoms have been the workhorse of atomic physics for the past four decades. The predominant method has been the highly versatile Magneto-Optical Trap. We de…
Optimizing beam-splitter pulses for atom interferometry: a geometric approach
Nikolaos Dedes, Jack Saywell, Max Carey +2
We present a methodology for the design of optimal Raman beam-splitter pulses suitable for cold atom inertial sensors. The methodology, based on time-dependent perturbation theory,…
A control hardware based on a field programmable gate array for experiments in atomic physics
A. Bertoldi, C. -H. Feng, H. Eneriz Imaz +8
Experiments in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics require precise and accurate control of digital, analog, and radio frequency (RF) signals. We present a control hardware…
Bi-selective pulses for large-area atom interferometry
Jack Saywell, Max Carey, Ilya Kuprov +1
We present designs for the augmentation 'mirror' pulses of large-momentum-transfer atom interferometers that maintain their fidelity as the wavepacket momentum difference is increa…
Optimized Raman pulses for atom interferometry
Jack Saywell, Max Carey, Mohammad Belal +2
We present mirror and beamsplitter pulse designs that improve the fidelity of atom interferometry and increase its tolerance of systematic inhomogeneities. These designs are demons…
Loading and Cooling in an Optical Trap via Hyperfine Dark States
D. S. Naik, H. Eneriz-Imaz, M. Carey +5
We present a novel optical cooling scheme that relies on hyperfine dark states to enhance loading and cooling atoms inside deep optical dipole traps. We demonstrate a seven-fold in…
Optimal control of mirror pulses for atom interferometry
Jack Saywell, Ilya Kuprov, David Goodwin +2
Atom matterwave interferometry requires mirror and beamsplitter pulses that are robust to inhomogeneities in field intensity, magnetic environment, atom velocity and Zeeman sub-sta…
Velocimetry of cold atoms by matterwave interferometry
Max Carey, Jack Saywell, David Elcock +2
We present an elegant application of matterwave interferometry to the velocimetry of cold atoms whereby, in analogy to Fourier transform spectroscopy, the 1-D velocity distribution…
Matterwave interferometric velocimetry of cold Rb atoms
Max Carey, Mohammad Belal, Matthew Himsworth +2
We consider the matterwave interferometric measurement of atomic velocities, which forms a building block for all matterwave inertial measurements. A theoretical analysis, addressi…
