Coulomb anti-blockade in a Rydberg dressed gas
A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +3
We perform a comprehensive investigation of the coupling between a Rydberg-dressed atomic gas and an ultra-cold plasma. Using simultaneous time-resolved measurements of both neutra…
A Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap
A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +4
We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By off-resonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high…
Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection
Ryan K. Hanley, Alistair D. Bounds, Paul Huillery +5
We demonstrate a method for probing interaction effects in a thermal beam of strontium atoms using simultaneous measurements of Rydberg EIT and spontaneously created ions or electr…
Radiation trapping in a dense cold Rydberg gas
D. P. Sadler, E. M. Bridge, D. Boddy +5
Cold atomic gases resonantly excited to Rydberg states can exhibit strong optical nonlinearity at the single photon level. We observe that in such samples radiation trapping leads…
Difference-frequency combs in cold atom physics
Russell Kliese, Nazanin Hoghooghi, Thomas Puppe +12
Optical frequency combs provide the clockwork to relate optical frequencies to radio frequencies. Hence, combs allow to measure optical frequencies with respect to a radio frequenc…
A low maintenance Sr optical lattice clock
Ian R. Hill, Richard Hobson, William Bowden +4
We describe the Sr optical lattice clock apparatus at NPL with particular emphasis on techniques used to increase reliability and minimise the human requirement in its operation. C…
