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…

Ultra-sensitive surface absorption spectroscopy using sub-wavelength diameter optical fibers
F. Warken, E. Vetsch, D. Meschede +2
The guided modes of sub-wavelength diameter air-clad optical fibers exhibit a pronounced evanescent field. The absorption of particles on the fiber surface is therefore readily det…
