Rapid axial loading of a grating MOT with a cold-atom beam
Rachel Cannon, Aidan S. Arnold, Paul F. Griffin +2
Laser-cooled atoms are increasingly being used to realise practical quantum devices, motivating the development of compact and robust atom sources. Grating magneto-optical traps (g…

Practical primary thermometry via alkali-metal-vapour Doppler broadening
Nicola Agnew, Veronika Vohníková, Erling Riis +2
Doppler-broadening thermometry (DBT) can be used as a calibration-free primary reference suitable for practical applications, e.g. reliably measuring temperatures over long periods…

Simple tunable phase-locked lasers for quantum technologies
Nicola Agnew, David Lowit, Aidan S. Arnold
In a wide range of quantum technology applications, ranging from atomic clocks to the creation of ultracold or quantum degenerate samples for atom interferometry, optimal laser sou…
