57 results about "Magneto-optical trap" patented technology

A magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an apparatus that uses laser cooling with magneto-optical trapping in order to produce samples of cold, trapped, neutral atoms at temperatures as low as several microkelvins, two or three times the recoil limit (see Doppler cooling limit). By combining the small momentum of a single photon with a velocity and spatially dependent absorption cross section and a large number of absorption-spontaneous emission cycles, atoms with initial velocities of hundreds of metres per second can be slowed to tens of centimetres per second.

Compact grating magneto-optical trap sensor head for inertial navigation in dynamic environments

A compact grating-mirror magneto-optical trap (GMOT) cold atom inertial sensor head is disclosed. To make the sensor head compatible with the high vibration levels encountered in dynamic environments, the number of optical ports in the vacuum chamber is minimized and various components, including fixed optical components and a reflective grating chip, are hard mounted within the vacuum chamber.
