Instrumentation for Creation and Diagnostics of an Intense Cold Atom Beam: CW Atom Laser and Nanotube Single Atom Detector

Abstract

The creation of a continuous wave atom laser would greatly enhance the possibility of ultracold atom based, jam-proof, precision inertial navigation systems. This proposal is for instrumentation necessary to support the Pi's current AFOSR grant. The proposal outlines the usage of equipment purchased through this DURIP grant to create the first continuous wave atom laser and for a novel single atom detector based on a carbon nanotube.
