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…
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…
