Deriving the static interaction between electric dipoles via the quantum gauge transformation
Makoto Morinaga
Gauge transformation leaves the electric and the magnetic fields unchanged as long as the gauge function is treated classically. In this paper we consider the gauge transformation…
Optical Nanofibers for Manipulating and Probing Single-Atom Fluorescence
K. P. Nayak, P. N. Melentiev, M. Morinaga +3
We demonstrate how optical nanofibers can be used to manipulate and probe single-atom fluorescence. We show that fluorescence photons from a very small number of atoms, average ato…
Circular magneto-optical trap for neutral atoms
Makoto Morinaga
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel scheme to magneto-optically trap neutral atoms in a ring shaped trap that can be used to transfer atoms into a circular magnetic t…
Atom trapping and guiding with a subwavelength-diameter optical fiber
V. I. Balykin, K. Hakuta, Fam Le Kien +2
We suggest using an evanescent wave around a thin fiber to trap atoms. We show that the gradient force of a red-detuned evanescent-wave field in the fundamental mode of a silica fi…
