Doppler-free two-photon resonances for atom detection and sum frequency stabilization
A. M. Akulshin, B. V. Hall, V. Ivannikov +2
We investigate the excitation of the 5D_{5/2} level in Rb atoms using counter-propagating laser beams, which are nearly resonant to the one-photon 5S_{1/2} - 5P_{3/2} and 5P_{3/2}…
Scanning magnetoresistance microscopy of atom chips
M. Volk, S. Whitlock, B. V. Hall +1
Surface based geometries of microfabricated wires or patterned magnetic films can be used to magnetically trap and manipulate ultracold neutral atoms or Bose-Einstein condensates.…
Effect of Magnetization Inhomogeneity on Magnetic Microtraps for Atoms
S. Whitlock, B. V. Hall, T. Roach +3
We report on the origin of fragmentation of ultracold atoms observed on a permanent magnetic film atom chip. A novel technique is used to characterize small spatial variations of t…
Cold atoms in videotape micro-traps
C. D. J. Sinclair, J. A. Retter, E. A. Curtis +5
We describe an array of microscopic atom traps formed by a pattern of magnetisation on a piece of videotape. We describe the way in which cold atoms are loaded into one of these mi…
