Fictitious magnetic field gradients in optical microtraps as an experimental tool for interrogating and manipulating cold atoms
Bernhard Albrecht, Yijian Meng, Christoph Clausen +3
Optical microtraps provide a strong spatial confinement for laser-cooled atoms. They can, e.g., be realized with strongly focused trapping light beams or the optical near fields of…
Optical diode based on the chirality of guided photons
C. Sayrin, C. Junge, R. Mitsch +5
Photons are nonchiral particles: their handedness can be both left and right. However, when light is transversely confined, it can locally exhibit a transverse spin whose orientati…
Storage of fiber-guided light in a nanofiber-trapped ensemble of cold atoms
C. Sayrin, C. Clausen, B. Albrecht +2
Tapered optical fibers with a nanofiber waist are versatile tools for interfacing light and matter. In this context, laser-cooled atoms trapped in the evanescent field surrounding…
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…
