Simple, highly-stable transfer cavity for laser stabilization based on a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer spacer
Timo Zwettler, Zeyang Xue, Gaia Bolognini +5
We describe the design and operation of a high-stability Fabry-Perot cavity, for laser stabilization in cavity quantum-electrodynamics experiments. Our design is based on an inexpe…
Vibration damping platform for cavity quantum-electrodynamics experiments
N. Sauerwein, T. Cantat-Moltrecht, I. T. Grigoras +1
We present a mechanical platform with enhanced vibration damping properties for cavity quantum-electrodynamics experiments. It is based on a composite design that combines a soft,…
A frequency doubled 1534 nm laser system for potassium laser cooling
Guillaume Stern, Baptiste Allard, Martin Robert-de-Saint-Vincent +4
We demonstrate a compact laser source suitable for the trapping and cooling of potassium. By frequency doubling a fiber laser diode at 1534 nm in a waveguide, we produce 767 nm las…
A quantum trampoline for ultra-cold atoms
Martin Robert De Saint Vincent, Jean-Philippe Brantut, Christian J. Bordé +3
We have observed the interferometric suspension of a free-falling Bose-Einstein condensate periodically submitted to multiple-order diffraction by a vertical 1D standing wave. The…
All-optical runaway evaporation to Bose-Einstein condensation
Jean-Francois Clément, Jean-Philippe Brantut, Martin Robert De Saint Vincent +4
We demonstrate runaway evaporative cooling directly with a tightly confining optical dipole trap and achieve fast production of condensates of 1.5x10^5 87Rb atoms. Our scheme is ch…
Light-shift tomography in an optical-dipole trap for neutral atoms
Jean-Philippe Brantut, Jean-François Clément, Martin Robert De Saint Vincent +5
We report on light-shift tomography of a cloud of 87 Rb atoms in a far-detuned optical-dipole trap at 1565 nm. Our method is based on standard absorption imaging, but takes advanta…
