Realization of large spin quantum gases

French version: Réalisation de gaz quantiques de grand spin Nous proposons d’étudier la propagation de corrélations quantiques dans des assemblées d’atomes de grand spin chargés dans des réseaux optiques. Notre démarche s’inscrit dans le développement de nouvelles méthodes et concepts…

Measuring densities of cold atomic clouds smaller than the resolution limit

We propose and demonstrate an experimental method to measure by absorption imaging the size and local column density of a cloud of atoms, even when its smallest dimension is smaller than the resolution of the imaging system.

Shelving spectroscopy of the strontium intercombination line

We present a spectroscopy scheme for the 7 kHz wide 689 nm intercombination line of strontium. We rely on shelving detection, where electrons are first excited to a metastable state by the spectroscopy laser before their state is probed using the broad transition at 461 nm.
