Magneto-Optical Trap Field Characterization with the Directional Hanle Effect
Jarom S. Jackson, Dallin S. Durfee
We demonstrate the use of spatial emission patterns to measure the magnetic fields used in a magneto-optical trap. The directional aspect of the Hanle effect gives a direct, visual…
Applying Classical Geometry Intuition to Quantum Spin
Dallin S. Durfee, James L. Archibald
Using concepts of geometric orthogonality and linear independence, we logically deduce the form of the Pauli spin matrices and the relationships between the three spatially orthogo…
Reflow Soldering of Surface Mount Electronic Components in a Laboratory
Christopher J. Erickson, Dallin S. Durfee
We present a basic tutorial for implementing surface mount technology in lab-built scientific instruments. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using surface mount chips.…
An Ultra-High Stability, Low-Noise Laser Current Driver with Digital Control
Christopher J. Erickson, Marshall Van Zijll, Greg Doermann +1
We present a low-noise, high modulation-bandwidth design for a laser current driver with excellent long term stability. The driver improves upon the commonly-used Hall-Libbrecht de…
Numerical calculation of classical and non-classical electrostatic potentials
Dan Christensen, Brian Neyenhuis, Dallin S. Durfee
We present a numerical exercise in which classical and non-classical electrostatic potentials were calculated. The non-classical fields take into account effects due to a possible…
Testing non-classical theories of electromagnetism with ion interferometry
B. Neyenhuis, D. Christensen, D. S. Durfee
We discuss using a table-top ion interferometer to search for deviations from Coulomb's inverse-square law. Such deviations would result from non-classical effects such at a non-ze…
