Optically active mechanical modes of tapered optical fibers
Chrisitan Wuttke, Garrett D. Cole, Arno Rauschenbeutel
Tapered optical fibers with a nanofiber waist are widely used tools for efficient coupling of light to photonic devices or quantum emitters via the nanofiber's evanescent field. In…
Tapered fiber coupling of single photons emitted by a deterministically positioned single nitrogen vacancy center
Lars Liebermeister, Fabian Petersen, Asmus v. Münchow +11
A diamond nano-crystal hosting a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center is optically selected with a confocal scanning microscope and positioned deterministically onto the subwaveleng…
Optical nanofibers and spectroscopy
R. Garcia-Fernandez, W. Alt, F. Bruse +7
We review our recent progress in the production and characterization of tapered optical fibers with a sub-wavelength diameter waist. Such fibers exhibit a pronounced evanescent fie…
Controlled insertion and retrieval of atoms coupled to a high-finesse optical resonator
Mkrtych Khudaverdyan, Wolfgang Alt, Igor Dotsenko +7
We experimentally investigate the interaction between one and two atoms and the field of a high-finesse optical resonator. Laser-cooled caesium atoms are transported into the cavit…
Cold Atom Physics Using Ultra-Thin Optical Fibers: Light-Induced Dipole Forces and Surface Interactions
G. Sagué, E. Vetsch, W. Alt +2
The strong evanescent field around ultra-thin unclad optical fibers bears a high potential for detecting, trapping, and manipulating cold atoms. Introducing such a fiber into a col…
Ultra-sensitive surface absorption spectroscopy using sub-wavelength diameter optical fibers
F. Warken, E. Vetsch, D. Meschede +2
The guided modes of sub-wavelength diameter air-clad optical fibers exhibit a pronounced evanescent field. The absorption of particles on the fiber surface is therefore readily det…
