Single-impulse magnetic focusing of launched cold atoms
Matthew J Pritchard, Aidan S Arnold, David A Smith +1
We have theoretically investigated the focusing of a launched cloud of cold atoms. Time-dependent spatially-varying magnetic fields are used to impart impulses leading to a three-d…
Sagnac Interferometry in a Slow-Light Medium
Graham T. Purves, Charles S. Adams, Ifan G. Hughes
We use a Sagnac interferometer to measure the dispersive and absorptive properties of room temperature Rubidium vapor on the D_2 line at 780.2 nm. We apply a pump beam such that th…
Double-impulse magnetic focusing of launched cold atoms
Aidan S Arnold, Matthew J Pritchard, David A Smith +1
We have theoretically investigated 3D focusing of a launched cloud of cold atoms using a pair of magnetic lens pulses (the alternate-gradient method). Individual lenses focus radia…
