Measurement of charge-exchange between Na and \ce{Ca+} in a hybrid trap
J. M. Kwolek, D. S. Goodman, B. Slayton +4
We present measurements of the charge-exchange reaction rate between neutral sodium (Na) and ionized calcium (\ce{Ca+}) in a hybrid atom-ion trap, which is comprised of a Na magnet…
Loading a linear Paul trap to saturation from a magneto-optical trap
J. E. Wells, R. Blümel, J. M. Kwolek +2
We present experimental measurements of the steady-state ion number in a linear Paul trap (LPT) as a function of the ion-loading rate. These measurements, taken with (a) constant P…
Simple Locking of IR and UV diode lasers to a visible laser using a LabVIEW PID controller on a Fabry-Perot signal
J. M. Kwolek, J. E. Wells, D. S. Goodman +1
Simultaneous laser locking of IR and UV lasers to a visible stabilized reference laser is demonstrated via a Fabry-Perot cavity. LabVIEW is used to analyze the input and an interna…
Universal non-monotonic structure in the saturation curves of MOT-loaded Na ions stored in an ion-neutral hybrid trap: Prediction and observation
R. Blümel, J. E. Wells, D. S. Goodman +2
We predict that the steady-state ion number for radio-frequency (rf) traps, loaded at a rate of particles per unit time, shows universal non-monotonic behavior as a funct…
Ion-neutral sympathetic cooling in a hybrid linear rf Paul and magneto-optical trap
D. S. Goodman, I. Sivarajah, J. E. Wells +2
Long range polarization forces between ions and neutral atoms result in large elastic scattering cross sections, e.g., 10^6 a.u. for Na+ on Na or Ca+ on Na at cold and ultracold te…
