Ultracold neutral plasma expansion in two dimensions
E. A. Cummings, J. E. Daily, D. S. Durfee +1
We extend an isothermal thermal model of ultracold neutral plasma expansion to systems without spherical symmetry, and use this model to interpret new fluorescence measurements on…

Fluorescence measurements of expanding strongly-coupled neutral plasmas
E. A. Cummings, J. E. Daily, D. S. Durfee +1
We report new detailed density profile measurements in expanding strongly-coupled neutral plasmas. Using laser-induced fluorescence techniques, we determine plasma densities in the…

Two-photon photo-ionization of the Ca 4s3d 1D2 level in an optical dipole trap
J. E. Daily, R. Gommers, E. A. Cummings +2
We report an optical dipole trap for calcium. The trap is created by focusing a 488 nm argon-ion laser beam into a calcium magneto-optical trap. The argon-ion laser photo-ionizes a…
