Generation of a cold pulsed beam of Rb atoms by transfer from a 3D magneto-optic trap
Sapam Ranjita Chanu, Ketan D. Rathod, Vasant Natarajan
We demonstrate a technique for producing a cold pulsed beam of atoms by transferring a cloud of atoms trapped in a three dimensional magneto-optic trap (MOT). The MOT is loaded by…
Accessing the two-photon transition in Rb using a diode laser system
Ketan D. Rathod, Vasant Natarajan
We report observation of the two-photon transition in Rb vapor at 778 nm, using an external cavity diode laser system and a heated vapor cell. T…
Ramsey fringes in a thermal beam of Yb atoms
K. D. Rathod, Vasant Natarajan
We use the Ramsey separated oscillatory fields (SOF) technique in a C thermal beam of Yb atoms to measure the Larmor precession frequency with high precision. For the ex…
Cold beam of isotopically pure Yb atoms by deflection using 1D-optical molasses
K. D. Rathod, Pushpander Singh, Vasant Natarajan
We demonstrate generation of an isotopically pure beam of laser-cooled Yb atoms by deflection using 1D-optical molasses. Atoms in a collimated thermal beam are first slowed using a…
Continuous beam of laser-cooled Yb atoms
K. D. Rathod, Alok K. Singh, Vasant Natarajan
We demonstrate launching of laser-cooled Yb atoms in a continuous atomic beam. The continuous cold beam has significant advantages over the more-common pulsed fountain, which was a…
Atomic fountain of laser-cooled Yb atoms for precision measurements
Kanhaiya Pandey, K. D. Rathod, Alok K. Singh +1
We demonstrate launching of laser-cooled Yb atoms in a cold atomic fountain. Atoms in a collimated thermal beam are first cooled and captured in a magneto-optic trap (MOT) operatin…
