Silicon-on-sapphire metasurfaces generate arrays of dark and bright traps for neutral atoms
Chengyu Fang, Minjeong Kim, Hongyan Mei +10
We demonstrated crystalline silicon-on-sapphire (c-SOS) metasurfaces that convert a Gaussian beam into arrays of complex optical traps, including arrays of optical bottle beams tha…

All-passive upconversion of incoherent near-infrared light at intensities down to 10 W/cm
Rabeeya Hamid, Demeng Feng, Pournima Narayanan +10
Frequency upconversion, which converts low-energy photons into higher-energy ones, typically requires intense coherent illumination to drive nonlinear processes or the use of exter…

Interleaved dual-species arrays of single atoms using a passive optical element and one trapping laser
Chengyu Fang, Jared Miles, Jonathan Goldwin +8
We demonstrate trapping of individual rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Cs) atoms in an interleaved array of bright tweezers and dark bottle-beam traps, using a microfabricated optical ele…
