Fabrication of integrated optics for miniature ion and atom traps

该项目旨在研究微型集成离子和原子阱所需光束的制造技术。主要技术将是倾斜布拉格光栅的激光写入，以及用于光学元件对准和组装的基板超精密加工。该项目将基于光学工程和量子光子学小组的实验室，但也将使用Zepler研究所的洁净室。该工作将与James Gates博士在QCS量子技术中心领导的工作保持一致，与牛津大学的研究人员密切合作，确定项目目标。主要目标将包括：-创建用于光纤对准和光学组件的亚微米精度参考结构，使用倾斜布拉格光栅的结构化输出光束传输，精确对准和创建陷阱电极

The project aims to look at fabrication technologies for the optical beams required in miniature, integrated traps for ions and atoms. The primary technologies will be laser writing of tilted Bragg gratings, and ultra-precision machining of substrates for alignment and assembly of optical components.The project will be based in the labs of the Optical Engineering and Quantum Photonics group, but will also use the Zepler Institute cleanrooms.The work will align to the work being led by Dr James Gates in the QCS Quantum Technology hub, working closely with researchers in Oxford to define the project goals.Key goals will include:-creating sub-micron precision reference structures for fibre alignment and optical assembly,structured output beam delivery using tilted Bragg gratings, precision alignment and creation of trap electrodes
