Measurements of the ion velocity distribution in an ultracold neutral plasma derived from a cold, dense Rydberg gas

S. D. Bergeson, M. Lyon

We report measurements of the ion velocity distribution in an ultracold neutral plasma derived from a dense, cold Rydberg gas in a MOT. The Rydberg atoms are excited using a resona…

The limit of strong ion coupling due to electron shielding

M. Lyon, S. D. Bergeson, M. S. Murillo

We show that strong coupling between ions in an ultracold neutral plasma is limited by electron screening. While electron screening reduces the quasi-equilibrium ion temperature, i…

Recombination fluorescence in ultracold neutral plasmas

S. D. Bergeson, F. Robicheaux

We present the first measurements and simulations of recombination fluorescence in ultracold neutral plasmas. In contrast with previous work, experiment and simulation are in signi…

Fluorescence measurements of expanding strongly-coupled neutral plasmas

E. A. Cummings, J. E. Daily, D. S. Durfee +1

We report new detailed density profile measurements in expanding strongly-coupled neutral plasmas. Using laser-induced fluorescence techniques, we determine plasma densities in the…

Neutral Plasma Oscillations at Zero Temperature

S. D. Bergeson, R. L. Spencer

We use cold plasma theory to calculate the response of an ultracold neutral plasma to an applied rf field. The free oscillation of the system has a continuous spectrum and an assoc…

Two-photon absorption in potassium niobate

A. D. Ludlow, H. M. Nelson, S. D. Bergeson

We report measurements of thermal self-locking of a Fabry-Perot cavity containing a potassium niobate (KNbO3) crystal. We develop a method to determine linear and nonlinear optical…
