This project aims to create an unprecedented ultra-cold atom source - a high brightness continuous atom laser. Such a device, the atomic analogue of an optical laser, may find near term application in precision inertial sensing based on atom interferometry. The proposed apparatus will utilise new techniques in cutting edge laser cooling and continuous all-optical wave-guiding to dramatically boost the density, collision rate and flux in a guided system. It is expected that the project will allow the study of previously unexplored territory in ultra-cold atom atomic physics.

该项目旨在创造一种前所未有的超冷原子源-高亮度连续原子激光器。这样的装置，原子模拟的光学激光器，可能会发现在短期内应用于精密惯性传感的基础上原子干涉。该装置将利用尖端激光冷却和连续全光波导的新技术，大大提高引导系统中的密度、碰撞率和通量。预计该项目将允许研究以前未探索的超冷原子原子物理学领域。
