A tuneable wavelength reference for chip-scale laser cooling

S. Dyer, K. Gallacher, U. Hawley +6

We demonstrate a tuneable, chip-scale wavelength reference to greatly reduce the complexity and volume of cold-atom sensors. A 1 mm optical path length micro-fabricated cell provid…

Enhanced observation time of magneto-optical traps using micro-machined non-evaporable getter pumps

Rodolphe Boudot, James P. McGilligan, Kaitlin R. Moore +5

We show that micro-machined non-evaporable getter pumps (NEGs) can extend the time over which laser cooled atoms canbe produced in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), in the absence of o…

Cold-atom clock based on a diffractive optic

Rachel Elvin, Gregory W. Hoth, Michael Wright +5

Clocks based on cold atoms offer unbeatable accuracy and long-term stability, but their use in portable quantum technologies is hampered by a large physical footprint. Here, we use…

A magneto-optic trap using a reversible, solid-state alkali-metal source

S. Kang, K. R. Moore, J. P. McGilligan +5

We demonstrate a novel way to form and deplete a vapor-cell magneto-optic trap (MOT) using a reversible, solid-state alkali-metal source (AMS) via an applied polarized voltage. Usi…

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…
