  • 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...

  • 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...
