Noise Resilience in a High-Bandwidth Atom Interferometer

Jonathan M. Kwolek, Sunil Upadhyay, Adam T. Black

The utility of inertial sensors depends on resilience against real-world dynamics and noise. Atom interferometry offers a sensing technology with the advantage of good long-term st…

A continuous, sub-Doppler-cooled atomic beam interferometer for inertial sensing

J. M. Kwolek, A. T. Black

We present the first demonstration of an inertially sensitive atomic interferometer based on a continuous, rather than pulsed, atomic beam at sub-Doppler temperatures in three dime…

Three-dimensional cooling of an atom beam source for high-contrast atom interferometry

J. M. Kwolek, C. T. Fancher, M. Bashkansky +1

We present a compact, two-stage atomic beam source that produces a continuous, narrow, collimated and high-flux beam of rubidium atoms with sub-Doppler temperatures in three dimens…

Measurement of charge-exchange between Na and \ce{Ca+} in a hybrid trap

J. M. Kwolek, D. S. Goodman, B. Slayton +4

We present measurements of the charge-exchange reaction rate between neutral sodium (Na) and ionized calcium (\ce{Ca+}) in a hybrid atom-ion trap, which is comprised of a Na magnet…

Model-independent measurements of the sodium magneto-optical trap's excited-state population

J. M. Kwolek, D. S. Goodman, S. A. Entner +3

We present model-independent measurements of the excited-state population of atoms in a sodium (Na) magneto-optical trap (MOT) using a hybrid ion-neutral trap composed of a MOT and…

Loading a linear Paul trap to saturation from a magneto-optical trap

J. E. Wells, R. Blümel, J. M. Kwolek +2

We present experimental measurements of the steady-state ion number in a linear Paul trap (LPT) as a function of the ion-loading rate. These measurements, taken with (a) constant P…

Simple Locking of IR and UV diode lasers to a visible laser using a LabVIEW PID controller on a Fabry-Perot signal

J. M. Kwolek, J. E. Wells, D. S. Goodman +1

Simultaneous laser locking of IR and UV lasers to a visible stabilized reference laser is demonstrated via a Fabry-Perot cavity. LabVIEW is used to analyze the input and an interna…

Universal non-monotonic structure in the saturation curves of MOT-loaded Na ions stored in an ion-neutral hybrid trap: Prediction and observation

R. Blümel, J. E. Wells, D. S. Goodman +2

We predict that the steady-state ion number for radio-frequency (rf) traps, loaded at a rate of particles per unit time, shows universal non-monotonic behavior as a funct…

Measurement of low-energy Na^+ -- Na total collision rate in an ion--neutral hybrid trap

D. S. Goodman, J. E. Wells, J. M. Kwolek +3

We present measurements of the total elastic and resonant charge-exchange ion-atom collision rate coefficient of cold sodium (\ce{Na}) with optically-dark low energ…
