A Waveguide Atom Beamsplitter for Laser-Cooled Neutral Atoms
A laser-cooled neutral-atom beam from a low-velocity intense source is split into two beams while guided by a magnetic-field potential. We generate our multimodebeamsplitter potential with two current-carrying wires on a glass substrate combined with an external transverse bias field. The atoms bend around several curves over a 10-cm distance. A maximum integrated flux of 1.5 · 105atoms/s is ac...

A laser-cooled neutral-atom beam from a low-velocity intense source is split into two beams while it is guided by a magnetic-field potential. We generate our multimode beam-splitter potential with two current-carrying wires upon a glass substrate combined with an external transverse bias field. The atoms are guided around curves and a beam-splitter region within a 10-cm guide length. We achieve...
متن کاملApplication of Laser - Cooled Ions to Frequency Standards and Metrology '
With the first experiments on laser cooling, it was realized that a principal application of the technique would be to reduce Doppler shifts in freqwncy stand9tds. Loser cooling is still thought to be eaxntid to achieve uncertainty significantly smaller than 1 part in io"; however, a number of other problems must be solved to achieve this goal with stored atomic ions. For both RF/microwave and ...
متن کاملAtom lithography with laser-cooled silicon atoms
An all-solid-state 252 nm coherent light source with external cavities for laser cooling silicon atoms using twostage highly efficient frequency conversions has been developed. With the coherent light source, it is possible to manipulate the atomic motion of the silicon atoms, which is necessary for nano-process applications. In this paper, deflection, collimation, and axial velocity selection ...
متن کاملA Laser-Cooled Frequency Standard for GPS
Our group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is in the initial phase of developing a prototype laser-cooled atomic frequency standard (AFS) for potential use in a future global positioning system (GPS) system. The expected fractional frequency stability or Allan deviation, σy(τ), will be 2 × 10 -13 at one second, improving as the square-root of the averaging time to 7 ...
