Pyramidal micro-mirrors for microsystems and atom chips
M. Trupke, F. Ramirez-Martinez, E. A. Curtis +8
Concave pyramids are created in the (100) surface of a silicon wafer by anisotropic etching in potassium hydroxide. High quality micro-mirrors are then formed by sputtering gold on…

Cold atoms in videotape micro-traps
C. D. J. Sinclair, J. A. Retter, E. A. Curtis +5
We describe an array of microscopic atom traps formed by a pattern of magnetisation on a piece of videotape. We describe the way in which cold atoms are loaded into one of these mi…

Integrated optical components on atom chips
S. Eriksson, M. Trupke, H. F. Powell +8
We report on the integration of small-scale optical components into silicon wafers for use in atom chips. We present an on-chip fibre-optic atom detection scheme that can probe clo…
