Field Ionization of Cold Atoms near the Wall of a Single Carbon Nanotube
Anne Goodsell, Trygve Ristroph, J. A. Golovchenko +1
We observe the capture and field ionization of individual atoms near the side wall of a single suspended nanotube. Extremely large cross sections for ionization from an atomic beam…
Creation of long-term coherent optical memory via controlled nonlinear interactions in Bose-Einstein condensates
Rui Zhang, Sean R. Garner, Lene Vestergaard Hau
A Bose-Einstein condensate confined in an optical dipole trap is used to generate long-term coherent memory for light, and storage times of more than one second are observed. Phase…
Electro-Optical Nanotraps for Neutral Atoms
Brian Murphy, Lene Vestergaard Hau
We propose a new class of nanoscale electro-optical traps for neutral atoms. A prototype is the toroidal trap created by a suspended, charged carbon nanotube decorated with a silve…
Observation of Hybrid Soliton Vortex-Ring Structures in Bose-Einstein Condensates
Naomi S. Ginsberg, Joachim Brand, Lene Vestergaard Hau
We present the experimental discovery of compound structures comprising solitons and vortex rings in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We examine both their creation via soliton-vo…
Enhancement of microcavity lifetimes using highly dispersive materials
Marin Soljacic, Elefterios Lidorikis, Lene Vestergaard Hau +1
We show analytically, and numerically that highly-dispersive media can be used to drastically increase lifetimes of high-Q microresonators. In such a resonator, lifetime is limited…
A High Flux Source of Cold Rubidium
Christopher Slowe, Laurent Vernac, Lene Vestergaard Hau
We report the production of a continuous, slow, and cold beam of 87-Rb atoms with an unprecedented flux of 3.2 x 10^12 atoms/s and a temperature of a few milliKelvin. Hot atoms are…
