Guiding of Rb atoms by capillary optical fibres

摘要

Atom guidance in capillary hollow fibres is discussed in detail. The main properties and the differences between the guidance with the blue and red detuning are described. Since the blue guiding has several advantages over the red guiding we focus on this type of guidance. Rubidium atoms are ideal for investigating atom transport by reason of their quantum properties. The influence of capillary features (radius of the hole, radius of the core, refractive index of the core) on transmission parameters is investigated and described in detail.
