Continuous collective strong coupling between atoms and a high finesse optical cavity
Julia R. K. Cline, Vera M. Schäfer, Zhijing Niu +3
We demonstrate continuous loading of strontium atoms into a high finesse ring cavity and observe continuous strong collective coupling in the form of a vacuum Rabi splitting betwee…
Cavity-QED determination of the natural linewidth of the Sr millihertz clock transition with 30Hz resolution
Juan A. Muniz, Dylan J. Young, Julia R. K. Cline +1
We present a new method for determining the intrinsic natural linewidth or lifetime of exceptionally long-lived optical excited states. Such transitions are key to the performance…
A Robust Narrow-Line Magneto-Optical Trap using Adiabatic Transfer
Juan A. Muniz, Matthew A. Norcia, Julia R. K. Cline +1
We characterize the properties of a new form of magneto-optical trap (MOT) that relies on non-equilibrium population dynamics associated with narrow-linewidth optical transitions.…
Frequency measurements of superradiance from the strontium clock transition
Matthew A. Norcia, Julia R. K. Cline, Juan A. Muniz +6
We present the first characterization of the spectral properties of superradiant light emitted from the ultra-narrow, 1 mHz linewidth optical clock transition in an ensemble of col…
Cavity Mediated Collective Spin Exchange Interactions in a Strontium Superradiant Laser
Matthew A. Norcia, Robert J. Lewis-Swan, Julia R. K. Cline +3
Laser cooled and quantum degenerate atoms are widely being pursued as quantum simulators that may explain the behavior of strongly correlated material systems, and as the basis of…
Narrow-line Laser Cooling by Adiabatic Transfer
Matthew A. Norcia, Julia R. K. Cline, John P. Bartolotta +2
We propose and demonstrate a novel laser cooling mechanism applicable to particles with narrow-linewidth optical transitions. By sweeping the frequency of counter-propagating laser…
Role of atoms in atomic gravitational-wave detectors
Matthew A. Norcia, Julia R. K. Cline, James K. Thompson
Recently, it has been proposed that space-based atomic sensors may be used to detect gravitational waves. These proposals describe the sensors either as clocks or as atom interfero…
Magnetically-Induced Optical Transparency on a Forbidden Transition in Strontium for Cavity-Enhanced Spectroscopy
Matthew N. Winchester, Matthew A. Norcia, Julia R. K. Cline +1
In this work we realize a narrow spectroscopic feature using a technique that we refer to as magnetically-induced optical transparency. A cold ensemble of Sr atoms interacts…
Superradiance on the milliHertz linewidth strontium clock transition
Matthew A. Norcia, Matthew N. Winchester, Julia R. K. Cline +1
Today's best atomic clocks are limited by frequency noise on the lasers used to interrogate the atoms. A proposed solution to this problem is to create a superradiant laser using a…
