1.6 GHz Frequency Scanning of a 482 nm Laser Stabilized using Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
Krishnapriya Subramonian Rajasree, Kristoffer Karlsson, Tridib Ray +1
We propose a method to continuously frequency shift a target laser that is frequency stabilized by a reference laser, which is several hundreds of nanometers detuned. We demonstrat…
Optical trap for an atom around the midpoint between two coupled identical parallel optical nanofibers
Fam Le Kien, Sile Nic Chormaic, Thomas Busch
We study the trapping of a ground-state cesium atom in a small region around the midpoint between two coupled identical parallel optical nanofibers. We suggest to use a blue-detune…
Spontaneous emission and energy shifts of a Rydberg rubidium atom close to an optical nanofiber
E. Stourm, M. Lepers, J. Robert +3
In this paper, we report on numerical calculations of the spontaneous emission rates and Lamb shifts of a atom in a Rydberg-excited state lo…
Fano-Resonant, Asymmetric, Metamaterial-Assisted Tweezers for Single Nanoparticle Trapping
Domna G. Kotsifaki, Viet Giang Truong, Sile Nic Chormaic
Plasmonic nanostructures can overcome Abbe's diffraction limit to generate strong gradient fields, enabling efficient optical trapping of nano-sized particles. However, it remains…
