Optomechanical coupling between ultracold atoms and a membrane oscillator [PDF]
, 2014 In this thesis, I report on the realization of a hybrid optomechanical system in which ultracold atoms are coupled to a micromechanical membrane. The atoms are trapped in the intensity maxima of an optical standing wave formed by retroreflection of a ...

Magneto-optical trapping forces for atoms and molecules with complex level structures
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules typically involves multiple transitions driven by several laser frequencies. We analyze how magneto-optical trapping forces depend on the angular momenta, F _l and F _u , and the g -factors, g _l ...

Operation of an optical in-well-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser [PDF]
, 2006 We report the operation of an optical in-well-pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser. The laser delivers 1 W at 855 nm and is pumped with a cost-effective fiber-coupled laser diode emitting at 806 nm.

Search for a permanent EDM using laser cooled radioactive atom
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 The search for the electric-dipole moment (EDM) of laser-cooled francium (Fr) atoms could lead to a measurement for the electron EDM. It is predicted that the electron EDM would be enhanced by approximately three orders of magnitude in heavy atoms such ...
