Design and fabrication of diffractive atom chips for laser cooling and trapping
J. P. Cotter, J. P. McGilligan, P. F. Griffin +5
It has recently been shown that optical reflection gratings fabricated directly into an atom chip provide a simple and effective way to trap and cool substantial clouds of atoms [1…
Improved surface quality of anisotropically etched silicon {111} planes for mm-scale integrated optics
J. P. Cotter, I. Zeimpekis, M Kraft +1
We have studied the surface quality of millimeter-scale optical mirrors produced by etching CZ and FZ silicon wafers in potassium hydroxide to expose the planes. We find…
Array of Fabry-Pérot waveguide resonators with tunable coupling
Guillaume Lepert, E. A. Hinds, Helen L. Rogers +2
We demonstrate the elements of a coupled-resonator optical waveguide in a side-coupled Fabry-Pérot configuration, and show that the coupling rate between adjacent waveguides can be…
ICP polishing of silicon for high quality optical resonators on a chip
A. Laliotis, M. Trupke, J. P. Cotter +3
Miniature concave hollows, made by wet etching silicon through a circular mask, can be used as mirror substrates for building optical micro-cavities on a chip. In this paper we inv…
Tight focusing of plane waves from micro-fabricated spherical mirrors
J. Goldwin, E. A. Hinds
We derive a formula for the light field of a monochromatic plane wave that is truncated and reflected by a spherical mirror. Our formula is valid even for deep mirrors, where the a…
