Optical bistability in Er-Yb co-doped phosphate glass microspheres at room temperature
J. M. Ward, D. G. O'Shea, B. J. Shortt +1
We experimentally demonstrate optical bistability in Er3+-Yb3+ phosphate glass microspheres at 295 K. Bistability is associated with both Er3+ fluorescence and lasing behavior, and…

Controlled Creation of Spatial Superposition States for Single Atoms
K. Deasy, Th. Busch, Y. Niu +3
We present a method for the controlled and robust generation of spatial superposition states of single atoms in micro-traps. Using a counter-intuitive positioning sequence for the…

A heat-and-pull rig for fiber taper fabrication
J. Ward, D. O'Shea, B. Shortt +3
We describe a reproducible method of fabricating adiabatic tapers with 3-4 micron diameter. The method is based on a heat-and-pull rig, whereby a CO2 laser is continuously scanned…
