Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of atom wave phase shifts induced by van der Waals atom-surface interactions.
TL;DR: This is the first direct measurement of the de Broglie wave phase shift caused by atom-surface interactions and demonstrates that atom waves can retain their coherence even when atom- surface distances are as small as 10 nm.

Lightguide with multiple in-coupling holograms for head wearable display
TL;DR: In this article, a head wearable display includes a lightguide, in-coupling holograms, and an outcoupled optical element, and a relay region is used to guide a path of the display light from the display display to the out-couple region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Triple Wollaston-prism complete-Stokes imaging polarimeter
TL;DR: This work demonstrates an imaging polarimeter design that uses three Wollaston prisms, addressing several technical challenges associated with moving remote-sensing platforms and provides a viable design concept for extensions into infrared wavelengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matter-wave decoherence due to a gas environment in an atom interferometer.
TL;DR: A single theory is shown to describe decoherence due to scattering either atoms or photons in a Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer, and predictions from this theory are tested by experiments with different species of background gas, and by experiment with different collimation restrictions on an atom beam interferometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using atomic diffraction of Na from material gratings to measure atom-surface interactions
TL;DR: In this article, an optics perspective to the theory of atomic diffraction from material gratings is put forth in the hopes of providing a more intuitive picture concerning the influence of the van der Waals potential.
