Faraday spectroscopy of atoms confined in a dark optical trap
Matthew L. Terraciano, Mark Bashkansky, Fredrik Fatemi
We demonstrate Faraday spectroscopy with high duty cycle and sampling rate using atoms confined to a blue-detuned optical trap. Our trap consists of a crossed pair of high-charge-n…
Cold atom confinement in an all-optical dark ring trap
Spencer E. Olson, Matthew L. Terraciano, Mark Bashkansky +1
We demonstrate confinement of Rb atoms in a dark, toroidal optical trap. We use a spatial light modulator to convert a single blue-detuned Gaussian laser beam to a superposi…
Magnetically-controlled velocity selection in a cold atom sample using stimulated Raman transitions
Matthew L. Terraciano, Spencer E. Olson, Mark Bashkansky +2
We observe velocity-selective two-photon resonances in a cold atom cloud in the presence of a magnetic field. We use these resonances to demonstrate a simple magnetometer with sub-…
