Energies and lifetimes of the 9p and 10p excited states in atomic francium
P. Lassègues, A. Ajayakumar, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis +29
We present the first measurement of 9p 2P1/2,3/2 and 10p 2P1/2,3/2 excited levels absolute wavenumbers and radiative lifetime in francium. We used the Collinear Resonance Ionizatio…
An optical lattice based method for precise measurements of atomic parity violation
A. Kastberg, T. Aoki, B. K. Sahoo +2
We propose a method for measuring parity violation in neutral atoms. It is an adaptation of a seminal work by Fortson [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 70}, 2383 (1993)], proposing a scheme f…
Bimodal momentum distribution of laser-cooled atoms in optical lattices
Claude M. Dion, Svante Jonsell, Anders Kastberg +1
We study, numerically and experimentally, the momentum distribution of atoms cooled in optical lattices. Using semi-classical simulations, we show that this distribution is bimodal…
Cold atoms: A field enabled by light
Leonardo Fallani, Anders Kastberg
Besides being a source of energy, light can also cool gases of atoms down to the lowest temperatures ever measured, where atomic motion almost stops. The research field of cold ato…
Polarization entangled photon-pair source based on quantum nonlinear photonics and interferometry
F. Kaiser, L. A. Ngah, A. Issautier +9
We present a versatile, high-brightness, guided-wave source of polarization entangled photons, emitted at a telecom wavelength. Photon-pairs are generated using an integrated type-…
Doppler cooling to the Quantum limit
Maryvonne Chalony, Anders Kastberg, Bruce Klappauf +1
Doppler cooling on a narrow transition is limited by the noise of single scattering events. It shows novel features, which are in sharp contrast with cooling on a broad transition,…
