Crossed-Beam slowing to enhance narrow-line Ytterbium Magneto-Optic Traps
Benjamin Plotkin-Swing, Anna Wirth, Daniel Gochnauer +3
We demonstrate a method to enhance the atom loading rate of a ytterbium (Yb) magneto-optic trap (MOT) operating on the 556 nm intercombination transit…
Bloch-bands Picture for Light Pulse Atom Diffraction and Interferometry
Daniel Gochnauer, Katherine E. McAlpine, Benjamin Plotkin-Swing +2
We apply a Bloch-bands approach to the analysis of pulsed optical standing wave diffractive elements in optics and interferometry with ultracold atoms. We verify our method by comp…
Three-path atom interferometry with large momentum separation
Benjamin Plotkin-Swing, Daniel Gochnauer, Katherine E. McAlpine +3
We demonstrate the scale up of a symmetric three-path contrast interferometer to large momentum separation. The observed phase stability at separation of 112 photon recoil momenta…
Active Stabilization of a Diode Laser Injection Lock
Brendan Saxberg, Benjamin Plotkin-Swing, Subhadeep Gupta
We report on a device to electronically stabilize the optical injection lock of a semiconductor diode laser. Our technique uses as discriminator the peak height of the laser's tran…
