Multiple species atom source for laser-cooling experiments
We describe the design of a single beam, multiple species atom source in which the flux of any component can be separately adjusted. Using this design we have developed a Na–Li atom source for ultracold atom experiments. The fluxes of lithium and sodium are independently tunable, allowing operation as a single Na or Li source as well as a double source with equal atomic fluxes in each component...
متن کاملLaser controlled atom source for optical clocks
Precision timekeeping has been a driving force in innovation, from defining agricultural seasons to atomic clocks enabling satellite navigation, broadband communication and high-speed trading. We are on the verge of a revolution in atomic timekeeping, where optical clocks promise an over thousand-fold improvement in stability and accuracy. However, complex setups and sensitivity to thermal radi...
متن کاملLaser-free slow atom source
A slow atom source, which does not rely on lasers, has been developed and characterized. The device, acting as an atomic low-pass velocity filter, utilizes permanent magnets to passively select the slow atoms present in a thermal atomic beam. Slow atoms are guided along a curved, conduction-limited tube by an octupole magnetic field, while fast atoms, unable to follow the curved trajectory, str...
متن کاملAn all-solid-state laser source at 671 nm for cold atom experiments with lithium
We present an all solid-state narrow linewidth laser source emitting 670mW output power at 671 nm delivered in a diffraction-limited beam. The source is based on a frequency-doubled diode-endpumped ring laser operating on the F 3/2 → I13/2 transition in Nd:YVO4. By using periodically-poled potassium titanyl phosphate (ppKTP) in an external buildup cavity, doubling efficiencies of up to 86% are ...
متن کاملA compact and efficient strontium oven for laser-cooling experiments.
Here we describe a compact and efficient strontium oven well suited for laser-cooling experiments. Novel design solutions allowed us to produce a collimated strontium atomic beam with a flux of 1.0 × 10(13) s(-1) cm(-2) at the oven temperature of 450 °C, reached with an electrical power consumption of 36 W. The oven is based on a stainless-steel reservoir, filled with 6 g of metallic strontium,...
