Abstract

One of the key technologies in cold atom experiments such as optical atomic clocks, quantum computers and simulators, as well as in optical communication and time keeping, is taking advantage of the external-cavity diode lasers (ECDLs). Because of the high sophistication of cold atom experiments, it is very important to have full control over frequency and single mode operation of the laser. Fully automatic control in cold atom experiments, including relocking lasers' stabilization, frequency control of repumping lasers, control over currents in magnetic field coils [1] is a big challenge. On the other hand, it is crucial in high-TRL cold atom applications, such as transportable optical clocks [2]–[4], and quantum computers [5].

Low-cost external cavity diode laser for cold atom experiments

Abstract In this article, the construction of an external cavity diode laser (ECDL) with the wavelength selection and stabilization given by an interference filter in a cateye reflector mirror type instead of using a common grating Littrow configuration is described. We show that our ECDL can be locked for several hours to a given frequency with the broad temperature variation of about 0.2-0.4 °C. A rubidium saturated absorption spectroscopy was used to check our ECDL with the D2 hyperfine transitions. Our low-cost and stabilized ECDL can be used for cold atom experiments as well as in quantum and atom optics applications.

External Cavity Diode Laser for Ultra-cold Atom Experiments

Benjamin Halkowski

This thesis describes the design, construction and characterization of an external cavity diode laser (ECDL) within the context of AMO research – specifically, ultracold rubidium experiments. The main benefit over other forms of laser light is the ECDL’s low cost and narrow linewidth. Having a more narrow linewidth allows us to affect specific electron states, such as for laser cooling, more precisely than broader alternatives. We find that building such a laser in house is feasible with scan range up to 4 GHz. We also note that attention to external noise, through mechanical vibrations but more importantly through temperature drifts, is necessary to produce an ECDL with a stable optical frequency.

Comb-assisted ultrastable laser system for quantum technologies

Michele Giunta, Martin Wolferstetter, Nikolai Lilienfein +5 more

Quantum technologies are nowadays emerging as enabling tools for practical applications, such as quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum metrology. Lasers play a central role in many of these technological platforms, e.g. for atomic clocks, ion-based or neutral atom-based quantum computers or atom interferometers. Here we present a complete laser system to cool, trap and control strontium atoms in an optical lattice or in tweezer arrays. A sub-Hz linewidth master laser, locked to a high-finesse optical cavity provides the frequency reference for an ultra-low noise comb. The rack-mounted laser system consists of all cooling, repumping, and clock lasers stabilized to the optical frequency comb. Each of the involved laser frequencies can therefore be tuned and mapped in the frequency domain with a high degree of stability. The system is controlled via a software interface, allowing to operate the cold-atom-based physics package autonomously. The system is tailored for the operation of 88Sr or 87Sr optical lattice clocks, or for quantum computing applications, but other sub-Hz lasers could be obtained by phase locking additional clock laser frequencies to the ultra-stable comb, enabling convenient and accurate optical frequency ratio measurements. The laser system architecture and the relevant characterization measurements will be presented, proposing some user-cases such as quantum computing and atom interferometry on strontium atoms. This represents a technological leap for quantum optics, allowing to explore further applications of quantum sensors outside a traditional lab.

An integrated laser system for the cold atom clock

Mingyuan Yu, Hua-Dong Cheng, Yanling Meng +5 more

We demonstrate an integrated laser system for the mobile integrating sphere cold atom clock. Three distributed Bragg reflector diode lasers (780 nm) with custom drive circuits are used for the cooling, repumping, pumping, and probe lights. Automatic frequency-locking and relocking of the laser are presented. All of the optical elements are integrated on two sides of an aluminum base plate. The mechanical structure is simulated and optimized to minimize the deformation of the base plate. We optimize, measure, and discuss the frequency and intensity noises of the laser system. The techniques and designs used in this laser system can also be used in other mobile platforms for quantum sensing experiments.

Development of an external cavity diode laser for application to spectroscopy and laser cooling and trapping of rubidium

G. N. Botha

In the presented study a diode laser was characterised and used for spec- troscopy, measuring the resonance lines of atomic rubidium. The characteristics of diode lasers and external cavity diode lasers (ECDL) for the purposes of ab- sorption spectroscopy were investigated and an experimental setup for tunable diode laser spectroscopy using an ECDL was developed. In external cavity diode lasers, the advantages of low cost, small size and e ciency of a diode laser is combined with tunability and a narrow frequency bandwidth. The ECDL was applied in experimental setups for absorption spectroscopy and saturated ab- sorption spectroscopy. Measurement of the absorption of atomic rubidium's D2 line near 780 nm is discussed. The Doppler broadened, as well as the Doppler free spectrum of the ne and hyper ne structure of the D2 line were measured and is discussed. Finer control of the ECDL's stability and frequency, using a servo circuit, were investigated and tested. An overview is given of laser cool- ing and trapping of neutral rubidium atoms, which is the main application the ECDL were developed for.

Simulation of Laser Cooling and Trapping in Engineering Applications

Jaime Ramirez-Serrano, James M. Kohel, Robert J. Thompson +2 more

An advanced computer code is undergoing development for numerically simulating laser cooling and trapping of large numbers of atoms. The code is expected to be useful in practical engineering applications and to contribute to understanding of the roles that light, atomic collisions, background pressure, and numbers of particles play in experiments using laser-cooled and -trapped atoms. The code is based on semiclassical theories of the forces exerted on atoms by magnetic and optical fields. Whereas computer codes developed previously for the same purpose account for only a few physical mechanisms, this code incorporates many more physical mechanisms (including atomic collisions, sub-Doppler cooling mechanisms, Stark and Zeeman energy shifts, gravitation, and evanescent-wave phenomena) that affect laser-matter interactions and the cooling of atoms to submillikelvin temperatures. Moreover, whereas the prior codes can simulate the interactions of at most a few atoms with a resonant light field, the number of atoms that can be included in a simulation by the present code is limited only by computer memory. Hence, the present code represents more nearly completely the complex physics involved when using laser-cooled and -trapped atoms in engineering applications. Another advantage that the code incorporates is the possibility to analyze the interaction between cold atoms of different atomic number. Some properties that cold atoms of different atomic species have, like cross sections and the particular excited states they can occupy when interacting with each other and light fields, play important roles not yet completely understood in the new experiments that are under way in laboratories worldwide to form ultracold molecules. Other research efforts use cold atoms as holders of quantum information, and more recent developments in cavity quantum electrodynamics also use ultracold atoms to explore and expand new information-technology ideas. These experiments give a hint on the wide range of applications and technology developments that can be tackled using cold atoms and light fields. From more precise atomic clocks and gravity sensors to the development of quantum computers, there will be a need to completely understand the whole ensemble of physical mechanisms that play a role in the development of such technologies. The code also permits the study of the dynamic and steady-state operations of technologies that use cold atoms. The physical characteristics of lasers and fields can be time-controlled to give a realistic simulation of the processes involved such that the design process can determine the best control features to use. It is expected that with the features incorporated into the code it will become a tool for the useful application of ultracold atoms in engineering applications. Currently, the software is being used for the analysis and understanding of simple experiments using cold atoms, and for the design of a modular compact source of cold atoms to be used in future research and development projects. The results so far indicate that the code is a useful design instrument that shows good agreement with experimental measurements (see figure), and a Windows-based user-friendly interface is also under development.
