The project will develop a compact and simplified apparatus for the preparation of cold atomic samples. Conventionally, a multiple beam geometry is required to laser cool and trap atoms and, with this, comes a corresponding overhead of optical components within a mechanical framework. Here, we propose to use a novel approach in which all the beams required for cooling and trapping are generated by a single beam and chip configuration. The technique has wide relevance to quantum technologies as it forms the primary stage for all atomic sensing devices including gravimeters, inertial sensors and clocks. The project brings the academic excellence of the University of Strathclyde together with the industrial knowhow of M Squared Lasers to exploit this world-leading innovation from the UK's research base. We will take it closer to commercialisation by commissioning a chip trap within an industrial environment, enhancing the technique and demonstrating measurement capability.

该项目将开发一种用于制备冷原子样品的紧凑和简化的装置。传统上，需要多束几何形状来激光冷却和捕获原子，并且由此带来机械框架内的光学部件的相应开销。在这里，我们建议使用一种新的方法，其中所需的冷却和捕获的所有光束产生的一个单一的光束和芯片配置。该技术与量子技术具有广泛的相关性，因为它形成了所有原子传感设备的主要阶段，包括重力仪，惯性传感器和时钟。该项目将斯特拉斯克莱德大学的学术卓越与M Squared Lasers的工业专业知识结合起来，利用英国研究基地的这一世界领先的创新。我们将通过在工业环境中调试芯片陷阱，增强技术并展示测量能力，使其更接近商业化。
