Precision spectroscopy in microfabricated vapor cells

Matthew T. Hummon

Precision spectroscopy is an important tool across a wide array of applications, from communications, timing and navigation, to many emerging quantum technologies. I will talk about our groups work to enable robust operation and integration of spectroscopic techniques for laser stabilization using nanophotonics for light delivery and microfabricated vapor cells for containing atomic references. Our approach is able to span a large wavelength range, from the telecommunications band using on chip second harmonic generation to wavelengths in the blue using vapor cells containing alkaline earth atoms.

We provide an overview of our research on chip-scale atomic devices. By miniaturizing optical setups based on precision spectroscopy, we have developed small atomic sensors and atomic references such as atomic clocks, atomic magnetometers, and optical wavelength references. We have integrated microfabricated alkali vapor cells with small low-power lasers, micro-optics, and low-power microwave oscillators. As a result, we anticipate that atomic stability can be achieved with small size, low cost, battery-operated devices. Advances in fabrication methods and performance are presented.

Chip-Scale Integration of Nanophotonic-Atomic Magnetic Sensors

Abstract Optical magnetometers based on alkali vapors, such as rubidium, are among the most sensitive technologies for detecting and characterizing magnetic fields. Following the recent effort in miniaturizing atomic-based quantum technologies, the last years were marked by a growing interest in developing integrated quantum nanophotonic circuits for a vast range of applications. Motivated by the attractiveness of such chip-scale integration, we present and experimentally demonstrate an integrated magnetic sensing platform, based on a nanophotonic-chip interfaced to a microfabricated alkali vapor cell. Magnetically induced circular dichroism in rubidium vapor is measured using a planar structure that spatially resolves the handedness of incoming photons depending on their spin. The presented approach paves the way toward further integration of highly sensitive magnetometers, with potential for future applications, such as in high-spatial resolution magnetic vectorial imaging.
