Nanobattery Manipulation

Preecha Yupapin

An optical thin film battery is a good candidate for such a device [5]. However, the requirement of a nanobattery is that it should have a construction technique that is reliable. Recently, Suwanpayak et al. [24] reported the use of a PANDA ring resonator for drug trapping and delivery applications. In this device, the photons/atoms/ molecules can be trapped and moved within an optical router. In this chapter, we will present the use of a trapping tool for moving atoms/ molecules for their delivery and collection within a thin film grating, where finally, the wavelength-selected tweezers will be formed. An atom assembly within the desired thin film grating can be made by using a PANDA microring resonator. The design for a thin film grating and the simulation result for it have been discussed in this chapter.

All-optical atom surface traps implemented with one-dimensional planar diffractive microstructures

O. Alloschery, Renaud Mathevet, J. Weiner +1 more

We characterize the loading, containment and optical properties of all-optical atom traps implemented by diffractive focusing with one-dimensional (1D) microstructures milled on gold films. These on-chip Fresnel lenses with focal lengths of the order of a few hundred microns produce optical-gradient-dipole traps. Cold atoms are loaded from a mirror magneto-optical trap (MMOT) centered a few hundred microns above the gold mirror surface. Details of loading optimization are reported and perspectives for future development of these structures are discussed.

Time dilation effects in micron-size rotating optical Ferris-wheel traps

V. E. Lembessis, J. Yuan, Koray Köksal +1 more

Advances in lasers and atomic clock technologies have enabled delicate measurements to be made of minute relativistic effects. Here, we propose that such developments should lead to the measurement of relativistic effects involving atoms and molecules in dynamic optical traps. Specifically, we make a case for the study of time dilation in the context of atoms and molecules trapped in a rotating optical Ferris wheel. With experimentally relevant examples, we demonstrate how this would extend relativity tests down to the micron scale and would constitute a potential advance toward micron-size Mössbauer-style spectroscopy for trapped atoms and molecules.
