Journal ArticleDOI
Off-resonance laser frequency stabilization using the Faraday effect.
A. L. Marchant,Sylvi Händel,Timothy P. Wiles,S. A. Hopkins,Charles S. Adams,Simon L. Cornish +5 more
TL;DR: Control of the temperature of the vapor cell and the magnitude of the applied magnetic field allows locking ~6-14 GHz red and blue detuned from the atomic line.
Journal ArticleDOI
A versatile dual-species Zeeman slower for caesium and ytterbium
S. A. Hopkins,K. Butler,Alexander Guttridge,S. L. Kemp,R. Freytag,E. A. Hinds,M. R. Tarbutt,Simon L. Cornish +7 more
TL;DR: The design, construction, and operation of a versatile dual-species Zeeman slower for both Cs and Yb, which is easily adaptable for use with other alkali metals and alkaline earths is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of ultracold Cs∗Yb molecules by photoassociation
Alexander Guttridge,S. A. Hopkins,Matthew D. Frye,John J. McFerran,Jeremy M. Hutson,Simon L. Cornish +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, one-photon photoassociation was applied to an ultracold atomic mixture of Cs and Yb confined in an optical dipole trap to detect 13 rovibrational states with binding energies up to 0.28em.
Journal ArticleDOI
Off resonance laser frequency stabilization using the Faraday effect
TL;DR: In this article, a simple technique for stabilization of a laser frequency off resonance using the Faraday effect in a heated vapor cell with an applied magnetic field was presented, and the authors obtained an rms fluctuation of 16(1) MHz over one hour without stabilization of the cell temperature or magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and characterization of a dual species magneto-optical trap of cesium and ytterbium
S. L. Kemp,K. Butler,R. Freytag,R. Freytag,S. A. Hopkins,E. A. Hinds,M. R. Tarbutt,Simon L. Cornish +7 more
TL;DR: The apparatus consists of a dual species effusive oven source, dual species Zeeman slower, magneto-optical traps in a single ultra-high vacuum science chamber, and the associated laser systems.
