Blackbody Radiation Noise Broadening of Quantum Systems
Eric B Norrgard, Stephen P Eckel, Christopher L Holloway +1
Precision measurements of quantum systems often seek to probe or must account for the interaction with blackbody radiation. Over the past several decades, much attention has been g…
Quantum Blackbody Thermometry
Eric B. Norrgard, Stephen P. Eckel, Christopher L. Holloway +1
Blackbody radiation (BBR) sources are calculable radiation sources that are frequently used in radiometry, temperature dissemination, and remote sensing. Despite their ubiquity, bl…
Confinement of an alkaline-earth element in a grating magneto-optical trap
A. Sitaram, P. K. Elgee, G. K. Campbell +3
We demonstrate a compact magneto-optical trap (MOT) of alkaline-earth atoms using a nanofabricated diffraction grating chip. A single input laser beam, resonant with the broad …
Single-beam Zeeman slower and magneto-optical trap using a nanofabricated grating
D. S. Barker, E. B. Norrgard, N. N. Klimov +3
We demonstrate a compact (0.25 L) system for laser cooling and trapping atoms from a heated dispenser source. Our system uses a nanofabricated diffraction grating to generate a mag…
Challenges to miniaturizing cold atom technology for deployable vacuum metrology
Stephen Eckel, Daniel S. Barker, James A. Fedchak +3
Cold atoms are excellent metrological tools; they currently realize SI time and, soon, SI pressure in the ultra-high (UHV) and extreme high vacuum (XHV) regimes. The development of…
Light-induced atomic desorption of lithium
D. S. Barker, E. B. Norrgard, J. Scherschligt +2
We demonstrate loading of a Li magneto-optical trap using light-induced atomic desorption. The magneto-optical trap confines up to approximately ato…
