Directional Quantum-Controlled Chemistry: Generating Aligned Ultracold Molecules via Photoassociation
S. Kallush, J. L. Carini, P. L. Gould +1
Photoassociation of ultracold atoms is shown to lead to alignment of the product molecules along the excitation laser polarization axis. We theoretically investigate pulsed photoas…
Enhancement of Ultracold Molecule Formation Using Shaped Nanosecond Frequency Chirps
J. L. Carini, S. Kallush, R. Kosloff +1
We demonstrate that judicious shaping of a nanosecond-time-scale frequency chirp can dramatically enhance the formation rate of ultracold Rb molecules. Starting with u…
Nanosecond Pulse Shaping with Fiber-Based Electro-Optical Modulators and a Double-Pass Tapered Amplifier
Charles E. Rogers, Phillip L. Gould
We describe a system for generating frequency-chirped and amplitude-shaped pulses on time scales from sub-nanosecond to ten nanoseconds. The system starts with cw diode-laser light…
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…
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…
