A chip-scale atomic beam clock

June 13, 2023
Author(s)
Gabriela Martinez, Chao Li, Alexander Staron, John Kitching, Chandra Raman, William McGehee
We demonstrate a passively pumped, chip-scale atomic beam clock fabricated using a stack of silicon and glass wafers. The device could additionally serve as a platform for compact atom interferometers and other future quantum sensors.

A simple imaging solution for chip-scale laser cooling

John Kitching, Gabriela Martinez, A, Gregazzi, Paul Griffin, Aidan Arnold, D. P. Burt, Rodolphe Bouldot, Erling Riis, James McGilligan
We demonstrate a simple stacked scheme that enables absorption imaging through a hole in the surface of a grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT) chip, placed immediately below a micro-fabricated vacuum cell. The imaging scheme is capable of overcoming the

Enhanced observation time of magneto-optical traps using micro-machined non-evaporable getter pumps

Rodolphe Boudot, James P. McGilligan, Kaitlin R. Moore, Vincent N. Maurice, Gabriela Martinez, Azure L. Hansen, E. de Clercq, Elizabeth Donley, John Kitching
We show that micro-machined non-evaporable getter pumps (NEGs) can extend the time over which laser cooled atoms can be produced in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), in the absence of other vacuum pumping mechanisms. In a first study, we incorporate a silicon

Laser-cooling in a chip-scale platform

James P. McGilligan, Kaitlin R. Moore, Argyrios Dellis, Gabriela Martinez, E. de Clercq, Paul Griffin, A S. Arnold, E Riis, Rodolphe Boudot, John Kitching
Chip-scale atomic devices built around micro-fabricated alkali vapor cells are at the forefront of compact metrology and atomic sensors. We demonstrate a micro-fabricated vapor cell that is actively pumped to ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) to achieve laser
