Spatially Resolved Excitation of Rydberg Atoms and Surface Effects on an Atom Chip
Atreju Tauschinsky, Rutger M. T. Thijssen, S. Whitlock +2
We demonstrate spatially resolved, coherent excitation of Rydberg atoms on an atom chip. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is used to investigate the properties of the…
An atom interferometer enabled by spontaneous decay
R. A. Cornelussen, R. J. C. Spreeuw, H. B. van Linden van den Heuvell
We investigate the question whether Michelson type interferometry is possible if the role of the beam splitter is played by a spontaneous process. This question arises from an insp…
Observation of modified radiative properties of cold atoms in vacuum near a dielectric surface
V. V. Ivanov, R. A. Cornelussen, H. B. van Linden van den Heuvell +1
We have observed a distance-dependent absorption linewidth of cold Rb atoms close to a dielectric-vacuum interface. This is the first observation of modified radiative prope…
A stochastic rainbow caustic observed with cold atoms
B. T. Wolschrijn, D. Voigt, R. Jansen +4
We report the direct observation of a novel type of rainbow caustic. In contrast to known examples, this caustic originates from a dissipative, stochastic process. We have observed…
Elastic and Inelastic Evanescent-Wave Mirrors for Cold Atoms
D. Voigt, B. T. Wolschrijn, R. A. Cornelussen +4
We report on experiments on an evanescent-wave mirror for cold Rb atoms. Measurements of the bouncing fraction show the importance of the Van der Waals attraction to the sur…
