Internship and thesis proposals
A new source at 578 nm for clock interrogation and shelving of Yb atoms

Domaines
Quantum optics/Atomic physics/Laser
Quantum optics
Non-linear optics
Quantum gases
Metrology

Type of internship
Expérimental
Description
The internship will take place in the ytterbium lattice clocks team at LTE, Observatoire de Paris. Two topics are proposed in parallel: the design and the construction of a 578 nm source based on non-linear optics, and the demonstration of an atomic drain technique aiming at shelving atoms in metastable states so as to decouple the dynamics of a magneto-optical trap from the capture in a deep optical lattice.
