A Prototype of a Compact Rubidium-Based Optical Frequency Reference for Operation on Nanosatellites
Aaron Strangfeld, Simon Kanthak, Max Schiemangk +4
Space-borne optical frequency references based on spectroscopy of atomic vapors may serve as an integral part of compact optical atomic clocks, which can advance global navigation…
Ultracold atom interferometry in space
Maike D. Lachmann, Holger Ahlers, Dennis Becker +21
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in free fall constitute a promising source for space-borne matter-wave interferometry. Indeed, BECs enjoy a slowly expanding wave function, display…
Technologies for the ELGAR large scale atom interferometer array
B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +56
We proposed the European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research (ELGAR), an array of atom gradiometers aimed at studying space-time and gravitation with the p…
The Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory
Kai Frye, Sven Abend, Wolfgang Bartosch +48
Microgravity eases several constraints limiting experiments with ultracold and condensed atoms on ground. It enables extended times of flight without suspension and eliminates the…
A single-laser alternating-frequency magneto-optical trap
B. Wiegand, B. Leykauf, K. Döringshoff +3
In this paper, we present a technique for magneto-optical cooling and trapping of neutral atoms using a single laser. The alternating-frequency magneto-optical trap (AF-MOT) uses a…
ZERODUR based optical systems for quantum gas experiments in space
Moritz Mihm, Jean Pierre Marburger, André Wenzlawski +6
Numerous quantum technologies make use of a microgravity environment e.g. in space. Operating in this extreme environment makes high demands on the experiment and especially the la…
