The magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an essential tool for collecting and preparing cold atoms
with a wide range of applications. We demonstrate a planar-integrated MOT by combining …

We demonstrate a two-dimensional (2D) grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT) with a single
input cooling laser beam and a planar diffraction grating using Rb 87. This configuration …

Laser-cooled atoms are a key technology for many calibration-free measurement platforms—
including clocks, gyroscopes, and gravimeters—and are a promising system for quantum …

We demonstrate a compact (0.25 L) system for laser cooling and trapping atoms from a
heated dispenser source. Our system uses a nanofabricated diffraction grating to generate a …

Magneto-optical traps on atom chips are usually restricted to small atomic samples due to a
limited capture volume caused primarily by distorted field configurations. Here we present a …

We describe the apparatus of a dark-line two-dimensional (2D) magneto-optical trap (MOT)
of 85 Rb cold atoms with high optical depth (OD). Different from the conventional …

We have used diffraction gratings to simplify the fabrication, and dramatically increase the
atomic collection efficiency, of magneto-optical traps using micro-fabricated optics. The atom …

We demonstrate the transfer of potassium atoms from a vapor-cell type magneto-optical trap
(MOT) to a second MOT up to 75 cm away with the use of a spatially narrow push laser that …

A novel atom trap is described using alternating current to generate the magnetic B field,
together with high speed polarization switching of the damping laser field. This combination …

We demonstrate a compact magneto-optical trap (MOT) of alkaline-earth atoms using a
nanofabricated diffraction grating chip. A single input laser beam, resonant with the broad 1 …
