A practical guide to Terahertz imaging using thermal atomic vapour
Lucy Downes, Lara Torralbo-Campo, Kevin Weatherill
This tutorial aims to provide details on the underlying principles and methodologies of atom-based terahertz imaging techniques. Terahertz imaging is a growing field of research wh…
Observation of the motional Stark shift in low magnetic fields
Manuel Kaiser, Jens Grimmel, Lara Torralbo-Campo +5
We report on the observation of the motional Stark effect of highly excited Rb Rydberg atoms moving in the presence of a weak homogeneous magnetic field in a vapor cell. Emp…
Ionization spectra of highly Stark shifted rubidium Rydberg states
Jens Grimmel, Markus Stecker, Manuel Kaiser +4
We report on the observation and numerical calculation of ionization spectra of highly Stark-shifted Rydberg states of rubidium beyond the classical ionization threshold. In the nu…
Raman transitions between hyperfine clock states in a magnetic trap
J B Naber, L Torralbo-Campo, T Hubert +1
We present our experimental investigation of an optical Raman transition between the magnetic clock states of Rb in an atom chip magnetic trap. The transfer of atomic popula…
Measurement of Vacuum Pressure with a Magneto-Optical Trap: a Pressure-Rise Method
Rowan W. G. Moore, Lucie A. Lee, Elizabeth A. Findlay +3
The lifetime of an atom trap is often limited by the presence of residual background gases in the vacuum chamber. This leads to the lifetime being inversely proportional to the pre…
Magnetic-film atom chip with 10 m period lattices of microtraps for quantum information science with Rydberg atoms
V. Y. F. Leung, D. R. M. Pijn, H. Schlatter +11
We describe the fabrication and construction of a setup for creating lattices of magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms on an atom chip. The lattice is defined by lithographic pat…
