Fast Compact Laser Shutter Using a Direct Current Motor and 3D Printing
Grace H. Zhang, Boris Braverman, Akio Kawasaki +1
We present a mechanical laser shutter design that utilizes a DC electric motor to rotate a blade which blocks and unblocks a light beam. The blade and the main body of the shutter…
Carving complex many-atom entangled states by single-photon detection
Wenlan Chen, Jiazhong Hu, Yiheng Duan +3
We propose a versatile and efficient method to generate a broad class of complex entangled states of many atoms via the detection of a single photon. For an atomic ensemble contain…
Preventing and Reversing Vacuum-Induced Optical Losses in High-Finesse Tantalum (V) Oxide Mirror Coatings
Dorian Gangloff, Molu Shi, Tailin Wu +11
We study the vacuum-induced degradation of high-finesse optical cavities with mirror coatings composed of SiO-TaO dielectric stacks, and present methods to protect…
Two-Color Magneto-Optical Trap with Small Magnetic Field for Ytterbium
Akio Kawasaki, Boris Braverman, QinQin Yu +1
We report a two-color magneto-optical trap (MOT) for ytterbium atoms operating at a low magnetic field gradient down to 2 G/cm where a conventional MOT using the singlet transition…
