Trapping and Manipulation of Laser-Cooled Metastable Argon Atoms at a Surface
This thesis discusses experiments on the all-optical trapping and manipulation of lasercooled metastable argon atoms at a surface. A magneto-optical surface trap (MOST) has been realized and studied. This novel hybrid trap combines a magneto-optical trap at a metallic surface with an optical evanescent-wave atom mirror. It allows laser-cooling and trapping of atoms in contact with an evanescent...
متن کاملSimultaneous magneto-optical trapping of a boson-fermion mixture of metastable helium atoms.
We simultaneously confine fermionic metastable 3He atoms and bosonic metastable 4He atoms in a magneto-optical trap. The trapped clouds, containing up to 1.5 x 10(8) atoms of each isotope, are characterized by measuring ions and metastable helium atoms escaping from the trap. Optical pumping of 3He atoms to a nontrapped hyperfine state is investigated and it is shown that large atom numbers can...
متن کاملTrapping a single atom in a blue detuned optical bottle beam trap.
We demonstrate trapping a single rubidium atom in a blue detuned optical bottle beam trap. The trap was formed by a strongly focused blue detuned laser beam, which passes through a computer-generated circular pi phase hologram displayed on a spatial light modulator. Single atoms were loaded from a magneto-optical trap and stored in the optical trap for several seconds.
متن کاملA two species trap for chromium and rubidium atoms
We realize a combined trap for bosonic chromium (Cr) and rubidium (Rb) atoms. First experiments focus on exploring a suitable loading scheme for the combined trap and on studies of new trap loss mechanisms originating from simultaneous trapping of two species. By comparing the trap loss from the Rb magneto-optical trap (MOT) in absence and presence of magnetically trapped ground state Cr atoms ...
متن کاملIntegrated magneto-optical traps on a chip using silicon pyramid structures.
We have integrated magneto-optical traps (MOTs) into an atom chip by etching pyramids into a silicon wafer. These have been used to trap atoms on the chip, directly from a room temperature vapor of rubidium. This new atom trapping method provides a simple way to integrate several atom sources on the same chip. It represents a substantial advance in atom chip technology and offers new possibilit...
