Magneto-optical trapping in a near-surface borehole
Jamie Vovrosh, Katie Wilkinson, Sam Hedges +13
Borehole gravity sensing can be used in a number of applications to measure features around a well including rock-type change mapping and determination of reservoir porosity. Quant…
Doppler Compensated Cavity For Atom Interferometry
Rustin Nourshargh, Sam Hedges, Mehdi Langlois +2
We propose and demonstrate a scheme to enable Doppler compensation within optical cavities for atom interferometry at significantly increased mode diameters. This has the potential…
Circulating pulse cavity enhancement as a method for extreme momentum transfer atom interferometry
R. Nourshargh, S. Lellouch, S. Hedges +3
Large scale atom interferometers promise unrivaled strain sensitivity to midband (0.1 - 10 Hz) gravitational waves, and will probe a new parameter space in the search for ultra-lig…
Optical frequency generation using fiber Bragg grating filters for applications in portable quantum sensing
C. D. Macrae, K. Bongs, M. Holynski
A method for the agile generation of the optical frequencies required for laser cooling and atom interferometry of rubidium is demonstrated. It relies on fiber Bragg grating techno…
Technologies for the ELGAR large scale atom interferometer array
B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +56
We proposed the European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research (ELGAR), an array of atom gradiometers aimed at studying space-time and gravitation with the p…
Performance of an optical single-sideband laser system for atom interferometry
Clemens Rammeloo, Lingxiao Zhu, Yu-Hung Lien +2
This paper reports on a detailed performance characterization of a recently developed optical single-sideband (OSSB) laser system based on an IQ modulator and second-harmonic gener…
ELGAR -- a European Laboratory for Gravitation and Atom-interferometric Research
B. Canuel, S. Abend, P. Amaro-Seoane +55
Gravitational Waves (GWs) were observed for the first time in 2015, one century after Einstein predicted their existence. There is now growing interest to extend the detection band…
Application of optical single-sideband laser in Raman atom interferometry
Lingxiao Zhu, Yu-Hung Lien, Andrew Hinton +4
A frequency doubled I/Q modulator based optical single-sideband (OSSB) laser system is demonstrated for atomic physics research, specifically for atom interferometry where the pres…
Collective strong coupling of cold potassium atoms in a ring cavity
Robert Culver, Andreas Lampis, Balázs Megyeri +5
We present experiments on ensemble cavity quantum electrodynamics with cold potassium atoms in a high-finesse ring cavity. Potassium-39 atoms are cooled in a two-dimensional magnet…
