An oscillator circuit to produce a radio-frequency discharge and application to metastable helium saturated absorption spectroscopy
F. Moron, A. L. Hoendervanger, M. Bonneau +5
We present an rf gas discharge apparatus which provides an atomic frequency reference for laser manipulation of metastable helium. We discuss the biasing and operation of a Colpitt…
Detecting inertial effects with airborne matter-wave interferometry
Remi Geiger, Vincent Ménoret, Guillaume Stern +10
Inertial sensors relying on atom interferometry offer a breakthrough advance in a variety of applications, such as inertial navigation, gravimetry or ground- and space-based tests…
Light-pulse atom interferometry in microgravity
Guillaume Stern, Baptiste Battelier, Rémi Geiger +11
We describe the operation of a light pulse interferometer using cold 87Rb atoms in reduced gravity. Using a series of two Raman transitions induced by light pulses, we have obtaine…
Tapered-amplified AR-coated laser diodes for Potassium and Rubidium atomic-physics experiments
Robert A. Nyman, Gael Varoquaux, Brice Villier +5
We present a system of room-temperature extended-cavity grating-diode lasers (ECDL) for production of light in the range 760-790nm. The extension of the tuning range towards the bl…
Partially ferromagnetic electromagnet for trapping and cooling neutral atoms to quantum degeneracy
Marie Fauquembergue, Jean-Félix Riou, William Guerin +7
We have developed a compact partially ferromagnetic electromagnet to produce a Ioffe-Pritchard trap for neutral atoms. Our structure permits strong magnetic confinement with low po…
