Grating magneto-optical traps with complicated level structures
D. S. Barker, P. K. Elgee, A. Sitaram +4
We study the forces and optical pumping within grating magneto-optical traps (MOTs) operating on transitions with non-trivial level structure. In contrast to the standard six-beam…
Simulations of a frequency-chirped magneto-optical trap of MgF
Kayla J. Rodriguez, Nickolas H. Pilgram, Daniel S. Barker +2
We simulate the capture process of MgF molecules into a frequency-chirped molecular MOT. Our calculations show that by chirping the frequency, the MOT capture velocity is increased…
Accurate measurement of the loss rate of cold atoms due to background gas collisions for the quantum-based cold atom vacuum standard
Daniel S. Barker, James A. Fedchak, Jacek Kłos +4
We present measurements of thermalized collisional rate coefficients for ultra-cold Li and Rb colliding with room-temperature He, Ne, N, Ar, Kr, and Xe. In our exper…
