Theoretical tools for atom laser beam propagation
J. -F. Riou, Y. Le Coq, F. Impens +4
We present a theoretical model for the propagation of non self-interacting atom laser beams. We start from a general propagation integral equation, and we use the same approximatio…
Tapered-amplified AR-coated laser diodes for Potassium and Rubidium atomic-physics experiments
Robert A. Nyman, Gael Varoquaux, Brice Villier +5
We present a system of room-temperature extended-cavity grating-diode lasers (ECDL) for production of light in the range 760-790nm. The extension of the tuning range towards the bl…
Beam quality of a non-ideal atom laser
J. -F. Riou, W. Guerin, Y. Le Coq +4
We study the propagation of a non-interacting atom laser distorted by the strong lensing effect of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) from which it is outcoupled. We observe a tran…
Partially ferromagnetic electromagnet for trapping and cooling neutral atoms to quantum degeneracy
Marie Fauquembergue, Jean-Félix Riou, William Guerin +7
We have developed a compact partially ferromagnetic electromagnet to produce a Ioffe-Pritchard trap for neutral atoms. Our structure permits strong magnetic confinement with low po…
Coherent matter wave inertial sensors for precision measurements in space
Yann Le Coq, Jocelyn A. Retter, Simon Richard +2
We analyze the advantages of using ultra-cold coherent sources of atoms for matter-wave interferometry in space. We present a proof-of-principle experiment that is based on an anal…
