Laser cooled atoms have proven transformative for precision metrology, playing a pivotal
role in state-of-the-art clocks and interferometers and having the potential to provide a step …

Based on the theory of electromagnetically induced transparency, we study the formation of
all-optical blazed transmission gratings in a coherently driven three-level atomic system …

Organic coatings have been widely used in atomic physics during the last 50 years because
of their mechanical properties, allowing preservation of atomic spins after collisions …

We are presently investigating the feasibility of developing a technique that will allow direct
traceable microwave electric field (E-field) measurements. The new approach is based on …

We demonstrate a novel way to form and deplete a vapor-cell magneto-optic trap (MOT)
using a reversible, solid-state alkali-metal source via an applied polarized voltage. Using∼ …

In this article we report on the production of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of Na 23
using light-induced desorption as an atomic source. We load about 2× 10 7 atoms in a …

We show that Fresnel zone plates (ZPs), fabricated in a solid surface, can sharply focus
atomic Bose–Einstein condensates that quantum reflect from the surface or pass through the …

We report on the expressed atomic spin-polarization protection properties of thin layers of
Octadecylamine capped gold-nanoparticles applied to the inner surface of an alkali metal …

We present a study of light-induced atom desorption (LIAD) of an alkali-metal atom (Rb) in
porous alumina. We observe the variation due to LIAD of the rubidium density in a vapor cell …

Alkali metal vapors enable access to single electron systems, suitable for demonstrating
fundamental light-matter interactions and promising for quantum logic operations, storage …
