Time-of-flight detection of ultra-cold atoms using resonant frequency modulation imaging

Hardman, K S; Wigley, P B; Everitt, P J; Manju, P; Kuhn, Carlos C N; Robins, N.P

Description

Resonant frequency modulation imaging is used to detect free falling ultra-cold atoms. A theoretical comparison of fluorescence imaging (FI) and frequency modulation imaging (FMI) is made, indicating that for low optical depth clouds, FMI accomplished a higher signal-to-noise ratio under conditions necessary for a 200 μm spatially resolved atom interferometer. A 750 ms time-of-flight measurement reveals near atom shot-noise limited number measurements of 2×10<sup>6</sup> Bose-condensed Rb87...[Show more]
