Number-resolved imaging of $^{88}$Sr atoms in a long working distance optical tweezer (2020)
Journal Article
Jackson, N., Hanley, R., Hill, M., Leroux, F., Adams, C., & Jones, M. (2020). Number-resolved imaging of $^{88}$Sr atoms in a long working distance optical tweezer. SciPost Physics, 8(3), Article 038. https://doi.org/10.21468/scipostphys.8.3.038

We demonstrate number-resolved detection of individual strontium atoms in a long working distance low numerical aperture (NA = 0.26) tweezer. Using a camera based on single-photon counting technology, we determine the presence of an atom in the tweez...

Quantitative simulation of a magneto-optical trap operating near the photon recoil limit (2017)
Journal Article
Hanley, R. K., Huillery, P., Keegan, N. C., Bounds, A. D., Faoro, R., & Jones, M. P. (2018). Quantitative simulation of a magneto-optical trap operating near the photon recoil limit. Journal of Modern Optics, 65(5-6), 667-676. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340.2017.1401679

We present a quantitative model for magneto-optical traps operating on narrow transitions, where the transition linewidth and the recoil shift are comparable. We combine a quantum treatment of the light scattering process with a Monte-Carlo simulatio...

Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection (2017)
Journal Article
Hanley, R. K., Bounds, A. D., Huillery, P., Keegan, N. C., Faoro, R., Bridge, E. M., …Jones, M. P. (2017). Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 50(11), Article 115002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/aa6e79

We demonstrate a method for probing interaction effects in a thermal beam of strontium atoms using simultaneous measurements of Rydberg EIT and spontaneously created ions or electrons. We present a Doppler-averaged optical Bloch equation model that r... Read More about Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection.

Absolute absorption on the potassium D lines: theory and experiment (2015)
Journal Article
Hanley, R. K., Gregory, P. D., Hughes, I. G., & Cornish, S. L. (2015). Absolute absorption on the potassium D lines: theory and experiment. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 48(19), Article 195004. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/48/19/195004

We present a detailed study of the absolute Doppler-broadened absorption of a probe beam scanned across the potassium D lines in a thermal vapour. Spectra using a weak probe were measured on the 4S $\to $ 4P transition and compared to the theoretical... Read More about Absolute absorption on the potassium D lines: theory and experiment.
