Microtrap on a concave grating reflector for atom trapping

We propose a novel scheme of optical confinement for atoms by using a concave grating reflector.The two-dimension grating structure with a concave surface shape exhibits strong focusing ability under radially polarized illumination.Especially,the light intensity at the focal point is about 100 times higher than that of the incident light.Such a focusing optical field reflected from the curved grating structure can provide a deep potential to trap cold atoms.We discuss the feasibility of the structure serving as an optical dipole trap.Our results are as follows.(i) Van der Waals attraction potential to the surface of the structure has a low effect on trapped atoms,(ⅱ) The maximum trapping potential is ~1.14 mK in the optical trap,which is high enough to trap cold ~(87)Rb atoms from a standard magneto-optical trap with a temperature of 120 μK,and the maximum photon scattering rate is lower than 1/s.(ⅲ) Such a microtrap array can also manipulate and control cold molecules,or microscopic particles.     

Hydrostatic pressure and temperature effects on the binding energy and optical absorption of a multilayered quantum dot with a parabolic confinement

The influence of hydrostatic pressure, temperature, and impurity on the electronic and optical properties of spherical core/shell/well/shell(CSWS) nanostructure with parabolic confinement potential is investigated theoretically. The energy levels and wave functions of the structure are calculated by using shooting method within the effective-mass approximation.The numerical results show that the ground state donor binding energy as a function layer thickness very sensitively depends on the magnitude of pressure and temperature. Also, we investigate the probability distributions to understand clearly electronic properties. The obtained results show that the existence of the pressure and temperature has great influence on the electronic and optical properties.     

Erbium-doped fiber ring laser sensor for high temperature measurements based on a regenerated fiber Bragg grating

This article presents an erbium-doped fiber ring laser for high temperature measurement with high accuracy. The proposed laser sensor employs a regenerated fiber Bragg grating (RFBG) as a sensor element. Through thermal treatments, the RFBG with enhanced thermal resistance was obtained. The laser emission optical spectrum presents good performance with a high optical signal-to-noise ratio of 58dB. Experimental results demonstrate a wavelength sensitivity to the temperature is 15.5 pm/ºC with the temperature range from 300ºC to 900ºC, and the correlation coefficient is 0.999. The results prove it is able to provide potential applications in high temperature measurement.     

Lattice bosons in a quasi-disordered environment

In this paper, we study non-interacting bosons in a quasi-disordered one-dimensional optical lattice in a harmonic potential. We consider the case of deterministic quasi-disorder produced by an Aubry–André potential. Using exact diagonalization, we investigate both the zero temperature and the finite temperature properties. We investigate the localization properties by using an entanglement measure. We find that the extreme sensitivity of the localization properties to the number of lattice sites in finite size closed chains disappear in open chains. This feature continues to be present in the presence of a harmonic confining potential. The quasi-disorder is found to strongly reduce the Bose–Einstein condensation temperature and the condensate fraction in open chains. The low temperature thermal depletion rate of the condensate fraction increases considerably with increasing quasi-disorder strength. We also find that the critical quasi-disorder strength required for localization increases with increasing strength of the harmonic potential. Further, we find that the low temperature condensate fraction undergoes a sharp drop to 0.5 in the localization transition region. The temperature dependence of the specific heat is found to be only marginally affected by the quasi-disorder.     

Zur Temperaturabhängigkeit dynamischer Kristallinterferenzen

The temperature dependence of dynamical crystal-interferences is investigated. The elastic scattering component is determined by a temperature and energy dependent optical potential analogous to nuclear physics. In a first approximation the optical potential is given by the thermal average of the crystal potential. The deviation depends on the pair density of the crystal atoms. The influence on absorption is evaluated employing approximations for the pair density.     

Experiments with a 3D double optical lattice

We present a setup where we trap two different cesium hyperfine ground states in two different near-resonant optical lattices with identical topographies. We demonstrate that we can change the relative spatial phase between the lattices and we measure the equilibrium temperature as a function of the relative spatial phase. This provides a topographical chart of the optical potential. We also determine the rate at which atoms are transferred between the lattices and show that the setup is a promising candidate for implementing coherent quantum state manipulation.     

Faster electro optical switching with a highly viscous Nematic Liquid Crystal mixture

This paper concentrates on the switching dynamics of a Nematic Liquid Crystal light modulator. This Liquid Crystal, called 1294-1b, has outstanding optical properties such as high birefringence which makes it a promising material for optical applications. Though this potential has been already implicated in optical data storage and integrated optics, it’s high viscosity limits the application in light modulators and electro-optics. This paper uses methods such as alternation in sample thickness, temperature and applied voltage to overcome this shortage. Finally, with the mentioned techniques a variety of switching times ranging from seconds to micro second are obtained.     

The temperature dependence of the Hi optical potential

Within a realistic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, derived from the Reid soft-core potential at zero temperature, the dependence on temperature of the heavy ion optical potential is investigated for the systems ⁴⁰Ca + ⁴⁰Ca and ²⁰⁸Pb + ²⁰⁸Pb. The hot nuclear densities are generated using the Thomas-Fermi model at a finite temperature. It is found that both the real and the imaginary parts of the optical potential become more attractive and extend to large distances when the temperature increases. The barrier heights are lowered and shifted outwards.

Critical temperature and condensed fraction of Bose-Einstein condensation in optical lattices

Critical temperature and condensate fraction of Bose-Einstein condensation in the optical lattice are studied. The results show that the critical temperature in optical lattices can be characterized with an equivalent critical temperature in a single lattice, which provide a fast evaluation of critical temperature and condensate fraction of Bose-Einstein condensation confined with pure optical trap. Critical temperature can be estimated with an equivalent critical temperature. It is predicted that critical temperature is proportional to q in q number lattices for superfluid state and should be equal to that in a single lattic for Mott insulate state. Required potential depth or Rabi frequency and maximum atom number in the lattices both for superfluid state and Mott state are presented based on views of thermal mechanical statistics.     

The S-FFT calculation of Collins formula and its application in digital holography

We study analytically and numerically the properties of one-dimensional chain of cold ions placed in a periodic potential of optical lattice and global harmonic potential of a trap. In close similarity with the Frenkel-Kontorova model, a transition from sliding to pinned phase takes place with the increase of the optical lattice potential for the density of ions incommensurate with the lattice period. We show that at zero temperature the quantum fluctuations lead to a quantum phase transition and melting of pinned instanton glass phase at large values of dimensional Planck constant. After melting the ion chain can slide in an optical lattice. The obtained results are also relevant for a Wigner crystal placed in a periodic potential.

Pinning of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate by an optical lattice

We consider the ground state of vortices in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that turning on a weak optical periodic potential leads to a transition from the triangular Abrikosov vortex lattice to phases where the vortices are pinned by the optical potential. We discuss the phase diagram of the system for a two-dimensional optical periodic potential with one vortex per optical lattice cell. We also discuss the influence of a one-dimensional optical periodic potential on the vortex ground state. The latter situation has no analog in other condensed-matter systems.
