Ramsey Atom Interferometry with Transverse Optical Modes

Ryan Husband, Ryan J. Thomas, Yosri Ben-Aïcha +10

We experimentally demonstrate atom interferometry using the transverse phase profile of an optical mode. As proof-of-principle, we use the helical phase windings of Hypergeometric…

Interferometry of Atomic Matter Waves in the Cold Atom Lab onboard the International Space Station

Jason R. Williams, Charles A. Sackett, Holger Ahlers +26

Ultracold atomic gases hold unique promise for space science by capitalizing on quantum advantages and extended freefall, afforded in a microgravity environment, to enable next-gen…

High precision measurement of the 87Rb D-line tune-out wavelength

R. H. Leonard, A. J. Fallon, C. A. Sackett +1

We report an experimental measurement of a light wavelength at which the ac electric polarizability equals zero for 87Rb atoms in the F=2 ground hyperfine state. The experiment use…

Effect of trap anharmonicity on a free-oscillation atom interferometer

R. H. Leonard, C. A. Sackett

A free-oscillation interferometer uses atoms confined in a harmonic trap. Bragg scattering from an off-resonant laser is used to split an atomic wave function into two separated pa…

Vacuum Pressure Measurements using a Magneto-Optical Trap

T. Arpornthip, C. A. Sackett, K. J. Hughes

The loading dynamics of an alkali-atom magneto-optical trap can be used as a reliable measure of vacuum pressure, with loading time T indicating a pressure less than or equal to [2…
