Direct imaging of a digital-micromirror device for configurable microscopic optical potentials

Gauthier Guillaume et al, 2016
Optica, 10, 3, pp. 1136-1143

The development of novel trapping potentials for degenerate quantum gases has been an important factor driving experimental progress in the field. The introduction of spatial light modulators (SLMs) into quantum gas laboratories means that a range of configurable geometries are now possible.

Note: High turn density magnetic coils with improved low pressure water cooling for use in atom optics

Review of Scientific Instruments, 85, 8, pp. 86103

We describe a magnetic coil design utilizing concentrically wound electro-magnetic insulating (EMI) foil (25.4 μm Kapton backing and 127 μm thick layers). The magnetic coils are easily configurable for differentcoil sizes, while providing large surfaces for low-pressure (0.12 bar) water cooling.
