Raman fingerprints on the Bloch sphere of a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate
Justin T. Schultz, Azure Hansen, Joseph D. Murphree +2
We explore the geometric interpretation of a diabatic, two-photon Raman process as a rotation on the Bloch sphere for a pseudo-spin-1/2 system. The spin state of a spin-1/2 quantum…
A Raman Waveplate for Spinor BECs
Justin T. Schultz, Azure Hansen, Nicholas P. Bigelow
We demonstrate a waveplate for a pseudo-spin-1/2 Bose-Einstein condensate using a two-photon Raman interaction. The angle of the waveplate is set by the relative phase of the optic…
Coherent 455nm beam production in cesium vapor
J. T. Schultz, S. Abend, D. Döring +5
We observe coherent, continuous wave, 455nm blue beam production via frequency up-conversion in cesium vapor. Two infrared lasers induce strong double-excitation in a heated cesium…
