Towards nonlinear optics and quantum sensing with cold atoms inside hollow-core fibres — •Maria Langbecker1, Mohammad Noaman1, Hannes Duncker2, Ortwin Hellmig2, Klaus Sengstock2, and Patrick Windpassinger1 — 1Universität Mainz, QUANTUM, Institut für Physik, Staudingerweg 7, 55128 Mainz, Germany — 2Universität Hamburg, Institut für Laser-Physik, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg, Germany
In this poster we present an experiment for studying strong light-matter interactions using atoms confined inside a hollow-core fibre. For this, cold Rubidium atoms are guided inside a fibre by an off-resonant dipole trap. Then, by measuring the fluorescence of the guided atoms, the dynamics inside the fibre can be observed. In the past, guiding of atoms through a fibre has already been successfully demonstrated. Here, we present results for the first experiments concerning measurements of electromagnetically induced transparency and of the optical depth. For the future, we envision a diverse range of further studies towards nonlinear optics and quantum sensors.
