Optical interface created by laser-cooled atoms trapped in the evanescent field surrounding an optical nanofiber
E. Vetsch, D. Reitz, G. Sagué +3
Trapping and optically interfacing laser-cooled neutral atoms is an essential requirement for their use in advanced quantum technologies. Here we simultaneously realize both of the…

Blue-detuned evanescent field surface traps for neutral atoms based on mode interference in ultra-thin optical fibres
G. Sague, A. Baade, A. Rauschenbeutel
We present and analyze a novel concept for blue-detuned evanescent field surface traps for cold neutral atoms based on two-mode interference in ultra-thin optical fibres. When two…

Cold Atom Physics Using Ultra-Thin Optical Fibers: Light-Induced Dipole Forces and Surface Interactions
G. Sagué, E. Vetsch, W. Alt +2
The strong evanescent field around ultra-thin unclad optical fibers bears a high potential for detecting, trapping, and manipulating cold atoms. Introducing such a fiber into a col…
