(DURIP-22) OPTICAL FIBER EQUIPMENT FOR AMO PHYSICS
Abstract
Optical fi ber technology has revolutionized communication, sensing, and medicine, and is also used in countless other applications. In atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, optical fibers are used for a wide range of applications from low-noise and high-power lasers to achieving strong light-matter couplings. Funded by the AFOSR and ONR, we have developed a range of AMO physics experiments using optical fi ber technology. Ongoing efforts in these experiments require an optical fiber fusion splicer and related equipment for stripping, cleaving, and inspecting polarization-maintaining optical fibers of various diameters and types. Our current equipment for these tasks is outdated, no longer supported by the manufacturer or third parties, and also sub- optimal for our research. In this DURIP proposal, we request updated equipment that will both maintain our current capabilities for working with optical fibers and enable new directions in our DoD-supported research.
