Narrow-line magneto-optical trap for dysprosium atoms

T. Maier, H. Kadau, M. Schmitt +2

We present our technique to create a magneto-optical trap for dysprosium atoms using the narrow-line cooling transition at 626nm to achieve suitable conditions for direct loadi…

Sisyphus cooling in a continuously loaded trap

Valentin V. Volchkov, Jahn Rührig, Tilman Pfau +1

We demonstrate continuous Sisyphus cooling combined with a continuous loading mechanism used to efficiently slow down and accumulate atoms from a guided beam. While the loading its…

Efficient demagnetization cooling of atoms and its limits

Valentin V. Volchkov, Jahn Rührig, Tilman Pfau +1

Demagnetization cooling relies on spin-orbit coupling that brings motional and spin degrees of freedom into thermal equilibrium. In the case of a gas, one has the advantage that th…

Driving Dipolar Fermions into the Quantum Hall Regime by Spin-Flip Induced Insertion of Angular Momentum

David Peter, Axel Griesmaier, Tilman Pfau +1

A new method to drive a system of neutral dipolar fermions into the lowest Landau level regime is proposed. By employing adiabatic spin-flip processes in combination with a diabati…

Spectroscopy of a narrow-line optical pumping transition in dysprosium

M. Schmitt, E. A. L. Henn, J. Billy +4

We present measurements of the hyperfine coefficients and isotope shifts of the Dy I nm transition, using saturated absorption spectroscopy on an atomic beam. A King Plot…

In-Situ Dual-Port Polarization Contrast Imaging of Faraday Rotation in a High Optical Depth Ultracold 87Rb Atomic Ensemble

Franziska Kaminski, Nir S. Kampel, Mads P. H. Steenstrup +3

We study the effects of high optical depth and density on the performance of a light-atom quantum interface. An in-situ imaging method, a dual-port polarization contrast technique,…
