Optomechanical lasers for inertial sensing
Hayden Wisniewski, Logan Richardson, Adam Hines +2
We have developed an inertially sensitive optomechanical laser by combining a Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser with a monolithic fused silica resonator. By placing t…
Quantum hybrid optomechanical inertial sensing
Logan Richardson, Adam Hines, Andrew Schaffer +2
We discuss the design of quantum hybrid inertial sensor that combines an optomechanical inertial sensor with the retro-reflector of a cold atom interferometer. This sensor fusion a…
Optomechanical Inertial Sensors
Adam Hines, Logan Richardson, Hayden Wisniewski +1
We present a performance analysis of compact monolithic optomechanical inertial sensors that describes their key fundamental limits and overall acceleration noise floor. Performanc…
Quantum test of the Universality of Free Fall using rubidium and potassium
H. Albers, A. Herbst, L. L. Richardson +11
We report on an improved test of the Universality of Free Fall using a rubidium-potassium dual-species matter wave interferometer. We describe our apparatus and detail challenges a…
Optomechanical resonator-enhanced atom interferometry
L. L. Richardson, D. Nath, A. Rajagopalan +16
Matter-wave interferometry and spectroscopy of optomechanical resonators offer complementary advantages. Interferometry with cold atoms is employed for accurate and long-term stabl…
Ground-based near-UV observations of 15 transiting exoplanets: Constraints on their atmospheres and no evidence for asymmetrical transits
Jake D. Turner, Kyle A. Pearson, Lauren I. Biddle +37
Transits of exoplanets observed in the near-UV have been used to study the scattering properties of their atmospheres and possible star-planet interactions. We observed the primary…
Ground Tests of Einstein's Equivalence Principle: From Lab-based to 10-m Atomic Fountains
D. Schlippert, H. Albers, L. L. Richardson +10
To date, no framework combining quantum field theory and general relativity and hence unifying all four fundamental interactions, exists. Violations of the Einstein's equivalence p…
Quantum Test of the Universality of Free Fall
Dennis Schlippert, Jonas Hartwig, Henning Albers +6
We simultaneously measure the gravitationally-induced phase shift in two Raman-type matter-wave interferometers operated with laser-cooled ensembles of Rb and K atoms…
Near-UV and optical observations of the transiting exoplanet TrES-3b
Jake D. Turner, Brianna M. Smart, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman +23
We observed nine primary transits of the hot Jupiter TrES-3b in several optical and near-UV photometric bands from 2009 June to 2012 April in an attempt to detect its magnetic fiel…
