Interaction of laser-cooled 87Rb atoms with higher order modes of an optical nanofibre
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Optical nanofibres are used to confine light to sub-wavelength regions and are very promising tools for the development of optical fibre-based quantum networks using cold, neutral atoms.

Spectral distribution of atomic fluorescence coupled into an optical nanofibre [PDF]
Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 2009 We analyse the lineshape of the fluorescence emitted by a cloud of optically excited cold atoms and coupled into an optical nanofibre. We examine the efficiency of the fluorescence coupling and describe the asymmetry of the lineshape caused by the redshifts arising from both the van der Waals and Casimir–Polder interaction of the atoms with the surface

Stable low-loss optical nanofibres embedded in hydrophobic aerogel [PDF]
Optics Express, 2011 Nanofibres, optical fibres narrower than the wavelength of light, degrade in hours on exposure to air. We show that encapsulation in hydrophobic silica aerogel (refractive index 1.05) provides protection and stability (over 2 months) without sacrificing low attenuation, strong confinement and accessible evanescent field. The measured attenuation was

Magnetically trapped atoms in the vicinity of an optical nanofibre [PDF]
Applied Physics B, 2020 AbstractMagnetically trapped $$^{87}$$87Rb atoms have been observed near a single-mode optical nanofibre. Approximately $$1\times 10^6$$1×106 atoms were optically pumped to the $${|{F=2,m_\mathrm{F}=2}\rangle }$$|F=2,mF=2⟩ state and held in the trap with a trap lifetime of up to 2 s.

New Journal of Physics, 2020 Light guided by an optical nanofibre has a very steep evanescent field gradient extending from the fibre surface. This gradient can be exploited to drive electric quadrupole transitions in nearby quantum emitters.
