Vacuum Pressure Measurements using a Magneto-Optical Trap
T. Arpornthip, C. A. Sackett, K. J. Hughes
The loading dynamics of an alkali-atom magneto-optical trap can be used as a reliable measure of vacuum pressure, with loading time T indicating a pressure less than or equal to [2…
Confinement effects in a guided-wave interferometer with millimeter-scale arm separation
J. H. T. Burke, B. Deissler, K. J. Hughes +1
Guided-wave atom interferometers measure interference effects using atoms held in a confining potential. In one common implementation, the confinement is primarily two-dimensional,…
Measurement of the ac Stark shift with a guided matter-wave interferometer
B. Deissler, K. J. Hughes, J. H. T. Burke +1
We demonstrate the effectiveness of a guided-wave Bose-Einstein condensate interferometer for practical measurements. Taking advantage of the large arm separations obtainable in ou…
Precise manipulation of a Bose-Einstein condensate using Bragg interactions
K. J. Hughes, B. Deissler, J. H. T. Burke +1
The use of off-resonant standing light waves to manipulate ultracold atoms is investigated. Previous work has illustrated that optical pulses can provide efficient beam-splitting a…
A Bose-Einstein condensate interferometer with macroscopic arm separation
O. Garcia, B. Deissler, K. J. Hughes +2
A Michelson interferometer using Bose-Einstein condensates is demonstrated with coherence times of up to 44 ms and arm separations up to 0.18 mm. This arm separation is larger than…
A Time-Orbiting Potential Trap for Bose-Einstein Condensate Interferometry
J. M. Reeves, O. Garcia, B. Deissler +3
We describe a novel atom trap for Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb to be used in atom interferometry experiments. The trap is based on a time-orbiting potential waveguide. It supp…
