Generating 500 mW for laser cooling of strontium atoms by injection locking a high power laser diode
Vladimir Schkolnik, Jason R. Williams, Nan Yu
We report on the generation of 500 mW of spectrally pure laser light at the 460.86 nm transition used for laser cooling of strontium atoms. To this end we inject a high power singl…
Gravity gradient suppression in spaceborne atomic tests of the equivalence principle
Sheng-wey Chiow, Jason Williams, Nan Yu +1
The gravity gradient is one of the most serious systematic effects in atomic tests of the equivalence principle (EP). While differential acceleration measurements performed with di…
Quantum Test of the Equivalence Principle and Space-Time aboard the International Space Station
Jason Williams, Sheng-wey Chiow, Holger Mueller +1
We describe the Quantum Test of the Equivalence principle and Space Time (QTEST), a concept for an atom interferometry mission on the International Space Station (ISS). The primary…
Laser-Ranging Long Baseline Differential Atom Interferometers for Space
Sheng-wey Chiow, Jason Williams, Nan Yu
High sensitivity differential atom interferometers are promising for precision measurements in science frontiers in space, including gravity field mapping for Earth science studies…
A compact high-flux cold atom beam source
J. R. Kellogg, D. Schlippert, J. M. Kohel +3
We report on an efficient and compact high-flux Cs atom beam source based on a retro-reflected two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT). We realize an effective pushing field…
Observation of light dragging in rubidium vapor cell
Dmitry Strekalov, Andrey B. Matsko, Nan Yu +1
We report on the experimental demonstration of light dragging effect due to atomic motion in a rubidium vapor cell. We found that the minimum group velocity is achieved for light r…
