Interfacing of an optical nanofiber with tunably spaced atoms in an optical lattice

Hyok Sang Han, Ahreum Lee, Sarthak Subhankar +2

We experimentally demonstrate efficient interfacing of a large number of atoms to an optical nanofiber using an optical lattice with tunable spacing (m) projected onto…

A practical guide to feedback control for Pound-Drever-Hall laser linewidth narrowing

Wance Wang, Sarthak Subhankar, Joseph W. Britton

The Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique for laser linewidth narrowing is widely used by AMO experimentalists. However, achieving a high-performance PDH locking requires substantial e…

Quadrature amplitude modulation for electronic sideband Pound-Drever-Hall laser frequency locking

J. Tu, A. Restelli, K. Weber +4

The Pound--Drever--Hall (PDH) technique is routinely used to stabilize the frequency of a laser to a reference cavity. Electronic sideband (ESB) locking, a PDH variant, bridges the…
