Poster Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) 2e ou 3e cycle)

We present progress towards an ultra-low phase noise microwave synthesizer, critical for achieving high-precision quantum gravimeters and gyroscopes based on cold-atom interferometry. The microwave synthesizer is used both for laser cooling ⁸⁷Rb atoms and inducing ground-state Raman transitions that function as momentum-transfer pulses in our atom interferometer. During these pulses, the phase...

Poster Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) 2e ou 3e cycle)

We demonstrate a method for stabilizing a diode laser using a frequency-offset locking scheme and commercial electronics. Our 1560 nm diode laser is slaved to an ultra-stable master laser operating at 780 nm by frequency-doubling the slave laser and measuring its optical beatnote with the master on a high-speed photodiode. This RF beatnote is fed through a broadband variable divider and a...

Multi-frequency Raman generation (MRG) is a high order stimulated Raman process that can produce ultrashort laser pulses with high intensities. In experimental realizations of MRG, phenomena arise such as a single sideband shifted to a lower frequency on each of the Raman order peaks. These phenomena are not explained by previous theory. We derive analytic expressions for properties of MRG,...

3995. (U*) (POS-37) State selective field ionization for reionization of optically nuclear spin polarized, low-abundance radioisotope beams

Poster Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

The TRIUMF polarizer facility provides nuclear-spin-polarized radioactive isotopes via collinear optical pumping for physical and biomedical science$^{[1]}$. Recently, more exotic isotopes, such as $^{32}$Na and $^{230,232}$Ac, with production rates below ~1000 s$^{-1}$, are demanded to be highly spin-polarized to study nuclear structure and develop radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment....

4003. (G*) (POS-38) Two Color Nonlinear Fiber Amplification

Poster Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition affiches (Étudiant(e) 2e ou 3e cycle)

Nonlinear laser fiber amplification is a powerful technique known for generating high-energy, ultrashort pulses efficiently and compactly, finding applications in various fields. In this study, our objective is to develop and optimize a two-color nonlinear amplification system, which will serve as a crucial component for future multi-frequency Raman generation (MRG) experiments. The...

4020. (POS-39) Building an open access quantum information processor using Barium Ions

Poster (Non-Student) / Affiche (Non-étudiant(e))

We present our progress towards developing a trapped ion quantum information processor and describe our robust hardware and software architecture. Our platform for storing and processing quantum information is trapped Barium ions. Because of long-lived ground and metastable atomic states and transitions in the visible wavelengths, Ba$^+$ offers exciting possibilities to encode quantum...
