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…
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…
