RuBECi

Features

  • Compact UHV chamber
  • Up to two independent, active dispensers
  • Active and passive pumps to maintain vacuum
  • Integrated atom chip allows for the trapping and easy manipulation of ultra-cold atoms
  • Easily reconfigurable for specific applications

Element

  • Rubidium

Atom Chip

  • Standard
  • Window
  • Custom
  • Integrated optics

The RuBECi is a self-contained, tabletop, ultrahigh vacuum system for creating and manipulating ultra-cold atoms. It utilizes a two-cell vacuum system (a 2D+ MOT source cell and an ultra-high vacuum science cell compatible with long trap lifetimes). It features an atom chip for simple and rapid BEC production with a high-duty cycle and low power consumption. High numerical aperture imaging of trapped atoms in the chip potential is possible thanks to the atom chip’s integration into the science cell wall. The RuBECi is shipped under a permanent vacuum and ready to be used with an appropriate optics package, such as the Physics Platform.

 

Physics Platform

Features

  • Optics package to complement the RuBECi® or doubleMOT systems
  • Highly flexible configuration
  • Includes optics and opto-mechanics for 2D(+) MOT, 3D MOT, optical pumping, and imaging
  • Pre-aligned for rapid deployment
  • FC/APC Fiber inputs

Wavelength Selection

  • 767 nm
  • 780 nm
  • 852 nm

The Physics Platform provides the foundation optics for experiments, including a 3D magneto-optical trap (MOT) fed by a 2D+ MOT. It also includes optics for optical pumping and imaging neutral and ultracold atoms in the science cell. It consists of two stages: 2D+ MOT hardware and a six-beam MOT stage to create a 3D MOT in the science cell. The Physics Platform provides the user with increased flexibility to modify and adapt the system.
