  • Optically stabilized diode laser using high-contrast saturated absorption

    Creator:
    Cuneo, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy in an optically thick atomic vapor is used in an optical-feedback configuration for two semiconductor diode laser systems. One laser system consists of an unmodifed, commercially available diode laser. The other laser system consists of a diode laser initially stabilized by optical feedback from a diffraction grating....

  • A rubidium atomic funnel

    Creator:
    Swanson, Thomas B.
    Abstract:
    A low velocity, low temperature beam of atoms is produced from a two-dimensional magneto-optic trap known as an atomic funnel. The funnel provides simultaneous spatial and velocity compression of atoms and will provide a source for a three-grating atomic interferometer. Rubidium atoms from an oven are slowed by chirped cooling...

  • Laser cooling and trapping with electronically stabilized grating-feedback diode lasers

    Creator:
    Silva, Nancy J.
    Abstract:
    We have developed simple and inexpensive laser systems using grating-feedback diode lasers with electronic feedback to the injection current. These grating-feedback lasers can be continuously scanned up to 10 GHz and have a linewidth of 150 kHz. The three electronic frequency-stabilization systems we developed use polarization spectroscopy, etalon transmission and...

  • Low-velocity matter wave source for atom interferometry produced by Zeeman-tuned laser cooling and magneto-optic trapping

    Creator:
    Mayer, Shannon K.
    Abstract:
    A continuous, low-velocity, nearly monochromatic atomic beam is created using laser cooling and two-dimensional magneto-optic trapping. Rubidium atoms from an effusive oven are slowed and cooled using Zeeman-tuned slowing. The scattering force from a counter-propagating, frequency-stabilized diode laser beam is used to decelerate the thermal beam of atoms to a...

  • The three-grating optical interferometer used as a monitoring and stabilization device for an atomic interferometer

    Creator:
    Lopez, Peggy A.
    Abstract:
    The three-grating optical interferometer is studied to identify restrictions on alignment and improve stability. A description of the way a three-grating interferometer works is given as well as a method for proper set up. The overall power loss through the three gratings is measured and can be used to estimate...
