Magneto Optical Trap Vacuum Chamber with Laser Beams
The upper magneto-optical trap of our double magneto-optical trap setup on our first BEC experiment.
Glass Cell Vacuum Chamber with Magnetic Field Coils
Glass cell vacuum chamber, where the Bose-Einstein condensate is created in a magnetic trap. The magnetic trapping field is created by current carrying coils, with one being shown on this image.
Magneto Optical Trap in Action
Looking into our vacuum chamber you can see a cloud of laser cooled rubidium atoms (red colour enhanced artificially).
