Shaking-induced dynamics of cold atoms in magnetic traps
I. Llorente García, B. Darquié, C. D. J. Sinclair +4
We describe an experiment in which cold rubidium atoms, confined in an elongated magnetic trap, are excited by transverse oscillation of the trap centre. The temperature after exci…
Diffusion, thermalization and optical pumping of YbF molecules in a cold buffer gas cell
S. M. Skoff, R. J. Hendricks, C. D. J. Sinclair +5
We produce YbF molecules with a density of 10^18 m^-3 using laser ablation inside a cryogenically-cooled cell filled with a helium buffer gas. Using absorption imaging and absorpti…
Experiments on a videotape atom chip: fragmentation and transport studies
I. Llorente Garcia, B. Darquie, E. A. Curtis +2
This paper reports on experiments with ultra-cold rubidium atoms confined in microscopic magnetic traps created using a piece of periodically-magnetized videotape mounted on an ato…
Doppler-free laser spectroscopy of buffer gas cooled molecular radicals
S. M. Skoff, R. J. Hendricks, C. D. J. Sinclair +5
We demonstrate Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy of cold molecular radicals formed by laser ablation inside a cryogenic buffer gas cell. By lowering the temperature, c…
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…
