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…
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…
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)…
Dispersive Optical Interface Based on Nanofiber-Trapped Atoms
S. T. Dawkins, R. Mitsch, D. Reitz +2
We dispersively interface an ensemble of one thousand atoms trapped in the evanescent field surrounding a tapered optical nanofiber. This method relies on the azimuthally-asymmetri…
