From MOT to BEC using a single crossed-wire pair
Joshua M. Wilson, James A. Stickney, Francisco Fonta +4
We demonstrate a new magneto-optical trap (MOT) configuration using a simple pair of crossed wires rotated at 45 deg and an appropriate bias field to generate a MOT of >10^8 atoms.…
Dynamics within a tunable harmonic/quartic waveguide
Rudolph N. Kohn, James A. Stickney
We present an analytical solution to the dynamics of a noninteracting cloud of thermal atoms in a cigar-shaped harmonic trap with a quartic perturbation along the axial direction.…
A Wigner Function Approach to Coherence in a Talbot-Lau Interferometer
Eric Imhof, James Stickney, Matthew Squires
Using a thermal gas, we model the signal of a trapped interferometer. This interferometer uses two short laser pulses, separated by time T, which act as a phase grating for the mat…
Ex Vacuo Atom Chip Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)
Matthew B. Squires, Spencer E. Olson, Brian Kasch +5
Ex vacuo atom chips, used in conjunction with a custom thin walled vacuum chamber, have enabled the rapid replacement of atom chips for magnetically trapped cold atom experiments.…
Tunable axial potentials for atom chip waveguides
James A. Stickney, Brian Kasch, Eric Imhof +4
We present a method for generating precise magnetic potentials that can be described by a polynomial series along the axis of a cold atom waveguide near the surface of an atom chip…
Atom chips on direct bonded copper substrates
Matthew B. Squires, James A. Stickney, Evan J. Carlson +4
We present the use of direct bonded copper (DBC) for the straightforward fabrication of high power atom chips. Atom chips using DBC have several benefits: excellent copper/substrat…
