Resonant photo-ionization of Yb+ to Yb2+
Simon Heugel, Martin Fischer, Vladimir Elman +3
We demonstrate the controlled creation of a ion by photo-ionizing with weak continuous-wave lasers at ultraviolet wavelengths. The ph…
On the analogy between a single atom and an optical resonator
Simon Heugel, Alessandro S. Villar, Markus Sondermann +2
A single atom in free space can have a strong influence on a light beam and a single photon can have a strong effect on a single atom in free space. Regarding this interaction, two…
Optomechanical Stochastic Resonance in a Macroscopic Torsion Oscillator
F. Mueller, S. Heugel, L. J. Wang
Linear mechanical oscillators have been applied to measure very small forces, mostly with the help of noise suppression. In contrast, adding noise to non-linear oscillators can imp…
Sub-Kelvin Cooling of a Macroscopic Oscillator and femto-Newton Force Measurement
F. Mueller, S. Heugel, L. J. Wang
Measuring very small forces, particularly those of a gravitational nature, has always been of great interest, as fundamental tests of our understanding of the physical laws. Ultra-…
Observation of opto-mechanical multistability in a high Q torsion balance oscillator
F. Mueller, S. Heugel, L. J. Wang
We observe the opto-mechanical multistability of a macroscopic torsion balance oscillator. The torsion oscillator forms the moving mirror of a hemi-spherical laser light cavity. Wh…
