Production of Ultracold Molecules with Chirped Nanosecond Pulses: Evidence for Coherent Effects
J. L. Carini, J. A. Pechkis, C. E. Rogers +3
We use frequency-chirped light on the nanosecond time scale to produce ultracold Rb molecules in the lowest triplet state via the process of photoassociation. Comparin…
Cold atom guidance in a capillary using blue-detuned, hollow optical modes
Joseph A. Pechkis, Fredrik K. Fatemi
We demonstrate guiding of cold 85Rb atoms through a 100-micron-diameter hollow core dielectric waveguide using cylindrical hollow modes. We have transported atoms using blue-detune…
Creation of arbitrary spectra with an electro-optic modulator
C. E. Rogers, J. L. Carini, J. A. Pechkis +1
We use a waveguide-based electro-optic phase modulator, driven by a nanosecond-timescale arbitrary waveform generator, to produce an optical spectrum with an arbitrary pattern of s…
Characterization and Compensation of the Residual Chirp in a Mach-Zehnder-Type Electro-Optical Intensity Modulator
C. E. Rogers, J. L. Carini, J. A. Pechkis +1
We utilize various techniques to characterize the residual phase modulation of a fiber-based Mach-Zehnder electro-optical intensity modulator. A heterodyne technique is used to dir…
Coherent Control of Ultracold Collisions with Chirped Light: Direction Matters
M. J. Wright, J. A. Pechkis, J. L. Carini +3
We demonstrate the ability to coherently control ultracold atomic Rb collisions using frequency-chirped light on the nanosecond time scale. For certain center frequencies of the ch…
Generation of Arbitrary Frequency Chirps with a Fiber-Based Phase Modulator and Self-Injection-Locked Diode Laser
C. E. Rogers, M. J. Wright, J. L. Carini +2
We present a novel technique for producing pulses of laser light whose frequency is arbitrarily chirped. The output from a diode laser is sent through a fiber-optical delay line co…
