Dual-colour magic-wavelength trap for suppression of light shifts in atoms
Ashby P. Hilton, Christopher Perrella, Andre N. Luiten +1
We present an optical approach to compensating for spatially varying ac-Stark shifts that appear on atomic ensembles subject to strong optical control or trapping fields. The intro…

Laser-based metastable krypton generation
M. A. Dakka, G. Tsiminis, P. S. Light +6
We demonstrate the generation of metastable krypton in the long-lived 1s5 state using laser excitation. The atoms are excited through a two-photon absorption process into the 2p6 s…

High-efficiency cold-atom transport into a waveguide trap
Ashby P. Hilton, Christopher Perrella, Fetah Benabid +3
We have developed and characterized an atom-guiding technique that loads cold rubidium atoms into hollow-core optical fibre, an order-of-magnitude larger than previou…
