Nanofiber-based optical trapping of cold neutral atoms
Eugen Vetsch, Samuel T. Dawkins, Rudolf Mitsch +3
We present experimental techniques and results related to the optimization and characterization of our nanofiber-based atom trap [Vetsch et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 203603 (2010)…
Dispersive Optical Interface Based on Nanofiber-Trapped Atoms
S. T. Dawkins, R. Mitsch, D. Reitz +2
We dispersively interface an ensemble of one thousand atoms trapped in the evanescent field surrounding a tapered optical nanofiber. This method relies on the azimuthally-asymmetri…
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…
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…
