Integrating optical devices with atom chips

Michael Trupke, Imperial College London

(Session : Thursday from )

Abstract. Atom chips are powerful tools which allow the cooling, trapping and transport of atoms close to their surface. We aim to complement these features with the detection and manipulation techniques offered by optical devices. The talk will focus on a scalable, fibre-coupled Fabry-Perot microcavity with which we have demonstrated the detection of atoms and observed cavity-enhanced photon emission. Recent results and an outlook on the future of these experiments will be presented.
