Talbot-enhanced, maximum-visibility imaging of condensate interference
Y. Zhai, C. H. Carson, V. A. Henderson +3
Nearly two centuries ago Talbot first observed the fascinating effect whereby light propagating through a periodic structure generates a `carpet' of image revivals in the near fiel…
Comparative simulations of Fresnel holography methods for atomic waveguides
Victoria A Henderson, Paul F Griffin, Erling Riis +1
We have simulated the optical properties of micro-fabricated Fresnel zone plates (FZPs) as an alternative to spatial light modulators (SLMs) for producing non-trivial light potenti…
Optical pattern formation with a 2-level nonlinearity
A. Camara, R. Kaiser, G. Labeyrie +5
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of spontaneous pattern formation in the transverse section of a single retro-reflected laser beam passing through a cloud o…
Phase-space properties of magneto-optical traps utilising micro-fabricated gratings
James P. McGilligan, Paul F. Griffin, Erling Riis +1
We have used diffraction gratings to simplify the fabrication, and dramatically increase the atomic collection efficiency, of magneto-optical traps using micro-fabricated optics. T…
Demonstration of an inductively coupled ring trap for cold atoms
J. D. Pritchard, A. N. Dinkelaker, A. S. Arnold +2
We report the first demonstration of an inductively coupled magnetic ring trap for cold atoms. A uniform, ac magnetic field is used to induce current in a copper ring, which create…
