OPTAMOT: Optimised Designs for Additively Manufactured Magento Optical Traps

研究团队将进行迭代设计活动，将我们的磁光陷阱(MOT)设计和优化经验与苏塞克斯大学和诺丁汉大学量子技术(QT)小组的经验相结合，并与添加剂制造研究领先组织Add Science Ltd(ASL)的添加剂制造设计(DFAM)能力相结合。为支持上述工作，将开展以下具体研究活动：-Orucevic博士和Kruger教授将承担主要MOT结构和辅助结构的设计、测试和实施；-将探索和描述MOT的不同操作方案(例如，2D MOT、2D+MOT、金字塔MOT等)；-将测试MOT与其他设备(例如原子芯片和印刷电路板(PCB))的系统集成；-将单独研究原型，并将其作为更大的实验冷原子装置的一部分。

The research team will undertake an iterative design activity, combining our Magneto Optical Trap (MOT) design and optimization experience with that of the Quantum Technology (QT) groups at the Universities of Sussex and Nottingham and with the Design for Additive Manufacture (DfAM) capabilities at Added Scientific Ltd (ASL), a leading organisation in Additive Manufacturing Research.In support of the above the following specific research activities will be undertaken:- Dr. Orucevic and Prof. Kruger will undertake the design, testing and implementation of main MOT structures and auxiliary structures;- Different operational schemes of MOT will be explored and characterised (e.g., 2D MOT, 2D+ MOT, pyramidal MOT, etc.);- The system integration of MOTs with other devices, for example atom chips and printed circuit boards (PCB), will be tested;- Prototypes will be investigated both separately and as a part of larger experimental cold-atom setup.
