All-Optical Matter-Wave Lens using Time-Averaged Potentials
H. Albers, R. Corgier, A. Herbst +11
The stability of matter-wave sensors benefits from interrogating large-particle-number atomic ensembles at high cycle rates. The use of quantum-degenerate gases with their low effe…
Quantum test of the Universality of Free Fall using rubidium and potassium
H. Albers, A. Herbst, L. L. Richardson +11
We report on an improved test of the Universality of Free Fall using a rubidium-potassium dual-species matter wave interferometer. We describe our apparatus and detail challenges a…
Evaporative cooling from an optical dipole trap in microgravity
Christian Vogt, Marian Woltmann, Henning Albers +4
In recent years, cold atoms could prove their scientific impact not only on ground but in microgravity environments such as the drop tower in Bremen, sounding rockets and parabolic…
Miniaturized lab system for future cold atom experiments in microgravity
Sascha Kulas, Christian Vogt, Andreas Resch +18
We present the technical realization of a compact system for performing experiments with cold and atoms in microgravity in the future. The whol…
Differential atom interferometry with Rb and Rb for testing the UFF in STE-QUEST
C Schubert, J Hartwig, H Ahlers +18
In this paper we discuss in detail an experimental scheme to test the universality of free fall (UFF) with a differential Rb / Rb atom interferometer applicable for e…
Atom interferometers with scalable enclosed area
Holger Mueller, Sheng-wey Chiow, Sven Herrmann +1
Bloch oscillations (i.e., coherent acceleration of matter waves by an optical lattice) and Bragg diffraction are integrated into light-pulse atom interferometers with large momentu…
