Directional nanophotonic atom--waveguide interface based on spin--orbit interaction of light
R. Mitsch, C. Sayrin, B. Albrecht +2
Optical waveguides in the form of glass fibers are the backbone of global telecommunication networks. In such optical fibers, the light is guided over long distances by continuous…
Exploiting the local polarization of strongly confined light for sub-micron-resolution internal state preparation and manipulation of cold atoms
R. Mitsch, C. Sayrin, B. Albrecht +2
A strongly confined light field necessarily exhibits a local polarization that varies on a subwavelength scale. We demonstrate that a single optical mode of such kind can be used t…
Back-Scattering Properties of a Waveguide-Coupled Array of Atoms in the Strongly Non-Paraxial Regime
D. Reitz, C. Sayrin, B. Albrecht +4
We experimentally investigate the back-scattering properties of an array of atoms that is evanescently coupled to an optical nanofiber in the strongly non-paraxial regime. We obser…
Coherence properties of nanofiber-trapped cesium atoms
D. Reitz, C. Sayrin, R. Mitsch +2
We experimentally study the ground state coherence properties of cesium atoms in a nanofiber-based two-color dipole trap, localized 200 nm away from the fiber surface. Using microw…
A Nanofiber-Based Optical Conveyor Belt for Cold Atoms
Philipp Schneeweiss, Samuel T. Dawkins, Rudolf Mitsch +3
We demonstrate optical transport of cold cesium atoms over millimeter-scale distances along an optical nanofiber. The atoms are trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice formed…
Nanofiber-based optical trapping of cold neutral atoms
Eugen Vetsch, Samuel T. Dawkins, Rudolf Mitsch +3
We present experimental techniques and results related to the optimization and characterization of our nanofiber-based atom trap [Vetsch et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 203603 (2010)…
