Robust watt-level continuous-wave deep-ultraviolet lasers near 230 nm
J. Cai, M. Stoepper, P. Agarwal +20
Continuous-wave (CW) deep-ultraviolet (DUV) lasers near 230~nm enable laser cooling of AlF, Cd, and Zn, but second-harmonic generation below 237~nm relies in practice on beta-bariu…
Trapping, manipulating and probing ultracold atoms: a quantum technologies tutorial
Louise Wolswijk, Luca Cavicchioli, Giuseppe Vinelli +12
Engineered ultracold atomic systems are a valuable platform for fundamental quantum mechanics studies and the development of quantum technologies. At near zero absolute temperature…
Multipole transition amplitudes and radiative decay rates in neutral cadmium
P. J. Robert, S. Manzoor, M. Chiarotti +1
We present a comprehensive study of the electronic transitions in neutral cadmium (Cd I) with a focus on forbidden transitions, motivated by recent advances in laser technology and…
Precision spectroscopy and frequency determination of the hyperfine components of the P(63) 4-4 transition of molecular iodine near 652 nm
Shamaila Manzoor, Mauro Chiarotti, Samuel A. Meek +2
We report the observation of the hyperfine spectrum of the weak P(63)4-4 line of the B-X electronic transition of molecular iodine 127I2 near 652.4 nm, using frequency-modulated sa…
Design and simulation of a source of cold cadmium for atom interferometry
Satvika Bandarupally, Jonathan N. Tinsley, Mauro Chiarotti +1
We present a novel optimised design for a source of cold atomic cadmium, compatible with continuous operation and potentially quantum degenerate gas production. The design is based…
Practical limits for large-momentum-transfer clock atom interferometers
Mauro Chiarotti, Jonathan N. Tinsley, Satvika Bandarupally +4
Atom interferometry on optical clock transitions is being pursued for numerous long-baseline experiments both terrestrially and for future space missions. Crucial to meeting these…
