Novel laser machining of optical fibers for long cavities with low birefringence

Hiroki Takahashi, Jack Morphew, Fedja Orucevic +3

We present a novel method of machining optical fiber surfaces with a CO laser for use in Fiber-based Fabry-Perot Cavities (FFPCs). Previously FFPCs were prone to large birefr…

Fiber-coupled single ion as an efficient quantum light source

Alex Wilson, Hiroki Takahashi, Andrew Riley-Watson +8

We have realized a compact system to efficiently couple the fluorescent light emitted by a single trapped ion to two opposing optical fibers. The fibers are tightly integrated in t…
