Centralised Design and Production of the Ultra-High Vacuum and Laser-Stabilisation Systems for the AION Ultra-Cold Strontium Laboratories
B. Stray, O. Ennis, S. Hedges +69
This paper outlines the centralised design and production of the Ultra-High-Vacuum sidearm and Laser-Stabilisation systems for the AION Ultra-Cold Strontium Laboratories. Commissio…
Measuring the disorder of vortex lattices in a Bose-Einstein condensate
A. Rakonjac, A. L. Marchant, T. P. Billam +4
We report observations of the formation and subsequent decay of a vortex lattice in a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a hybrid optical-magnetic trap. Vortices are induced by r…
Quantum reflection of bright solitary matter-waves from a narrow attractive potential
A. L. Marchant, T. P. Billam, M. M. H. Yu +6
We report the observation of quantum reflection from a narrow, attractive, potential using bright solitary matter-waves formed from a 85Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. We create narro…
A Simple, Versatile Laser System for the Creation of Ultracold Ground State Molecules
P. D. Gregory, P. K. Molony, M. P. Köppinger +5
A narrow-linewidth, dual-wavelength laser system is vital for the creation of ultracold ground state molecules via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) from a weakly bound F…
Repeated output coupling of ultracold Feshbach molecules from a Cs BEC
M. P. Koeppinger, P. D. Gregory, D. L. Jenkin +3
We investigate magnetoassociation of ultracold Feshbach molecules from a Bose- Einstein condensate of Cs atoms and explore the spectrum of weakly bound molecular states close to th…
Controlled formation and reflection of a bright solitary matter-wave
A. L. Marchant, T. P. Billam, T. P. Wiles +3
Solitons are non-dispersive wave solutions that arise in a diverse range of nonlinear systems, stablised by a focussing or defocussing nonlinearity. First observed in shallow water…
Bose-Einstein condensation of 85Rb by direct evaporation in an optical dipole trap
A. L. Marchant, S. Händel, S. A. Hopkins +2
We report a simple method for the creation of Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb by direct evaporation in a crossed optical dipole trap. The independent control of the trap fre…
Magnetic transport apparatus for the production of ultracold atomic gases in the vicinity of a dielectric surface
S. Haendel, A. L. Marchant, T. P. Wiles +2
We present an apparatus designed for studies of atom-surface interactions using quantum degenerate gases of Rb and Rb in the vicinity of a room temperature dielectric…
Guided transport of ultracold gases of rubidium up to a room-temperature dielectric surface
A L Marchant, S Haendel, T P Wiles +2
We report on the guided transport of an atomic sample along an optical waveguide up to a room-temperature dielectric surface. The technique exploits a simple hybrid trap consisting…
Magnetic merging of ultracold atomic gases of Rb and Rb
S Händel, T P Wiles, A L Marchant +3
We report on the magnetic merging of ultracold atomic gases of Rb and Rb by the controlled overlap of two initially spatially-separated magnetic traps. We present a d…
Off resonance laser frequency stabilization using the Faraday effect
A. L. Marchant, S. Haendel, T. P. Wiles +3
We present a simple technique for stabilization of a laser frequency off resonance using the Faraday effect in a heated vapor cell with an applied magnetic field. In particular we…
