Microfabricated alkali atom vapor cells
We describe the fabrication of chip-sized alkali atom vapor cells using silicon micromachining and anodic bonding technology. Such cells may find use in highly miniaturized atomic frequency references or magnetometers. The cells consist of cavities etched in silicon, with internal volumes as small as 1 mm. Two techniques for introducing cesium and a buffer gas into the cells are described: one ...
متن کاملMethod for characterizing self-assembled monolayers as antirelaxation wall coatings for alkali vapor cells
We describe a method for characterizing self-assembled monolayers SAMs in terms of their performance as antirelaxation wall coatings for alkali atom vapor cells. A combination of initial surface analysis and subsequent laser spectroscopy is used to provide insight into the quality of the coating, as well as its performance under the exposure to alkalis as it occurs, for example, when used in ap...
متن کاملLaser Focusing of Atoms for Nanostructure Fabrication
Laser-focusing of atoms has emerged as a viable form of nanofabrication. Structures are formed by focusing chromium atoms as they deposit onto a surface. The focusing occurs in a standing-wave laser field in one or two dimensions, resulting in arrays spaced at exactly half the laser wavelength ( /2 = 212.78 nm). Atomic force, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopies are used to...
متن کاملVector light shift averaging in paraffin-coated alkali vapor cells.
Light shifts are an important source of noise and systematics in optically pumped magnetometers. We demonstrate that the long spin-coherence time in paraffin-coated cells leads to spatial averaging of the vector light shift over the entire cell volume. This renders the averaged vector light shift independent, under certain approximations, of the light-intensity distribution within the sensor ce...
