Energy distribution and cooling of a single atom in an optical tweezer
C. Tuchendler, A. M. Lance, A. Browaeys +2
We investigate experimentally the energy distribution of a single rubidium atom trapped in a strongly focused dipole trap under various cooling regimes. Using two different methods…
Diffraction limited optics for single atom manipulation
Y. R. P. Sortais, H. Marion, C. Tuchendler +8
We present an optical system designed to capture and observe a single neutral atom in an optical dipole trap, created by focussing a laser beam using a large numerical aperture N.A…
A Femtosecond Nanometer Free Electron Source
Peter Hommelhoff, Yvan Sortais, Anoush Aghajani-Talesh +1
We report a source of free electron pulses based on a field emission tip irradiated by a low-power femtosecond laser. The electron pulses are shorter than 70 fs and originate from…
A Search for Variations of Fundamental Constants using Atomic Fountain Clocks
H. Marion, F. Pereira Dos Santos, M. Abgrall +12
Over five years we have compared the hyperfine frequencies of 133Cs and 87Rb atoms in their electronic ground state using several laser cooled 133Cs and 87Rb atomic fountains with…
133Cs87Rb Laser Cooled Dual Fountain
D. Calonico, Y. Sortais, S. Bize +5
At BNM-SYRTE laboratories in Paris two 133Cs fountains and a 87Rb one have been already demonstrated. This paper illustrates the construction of a 87Rb and Cs dual fountain realize…
