Shaping Beam Profiles Using Plastic Optical Fiber Tapers with Application to Ice Sensors by Kostas Amoiropoulos, Georgia Kioselaki, Nikolaos Kourkoumelis, Aris Ikiades

“…Using either bulk or fiber optics the profile of laser beams can be altered from Gaussian to top-hat or hollow beams allowing enhanced performance in applications like laser cooling, optical trapping, and fiber sensing. Here, we report a method based on multimode Plastic Optical Fibers (POF) long-tapers, to tweak the beam profile from near Gaussian to a hollow beam, by generating surface irregularities on the conical sections of the taper with a heat-and-pull technique. …”

Simple, near-universal relationships between bond lengths, strengths, and anharmonicities by D. L. Crittenden

“…Although not spectroscopically accurate, these models are nonetheless of significant heuristic value for identifying strongly multireference states of diatomic molecules (including electronically coupled excited states ill-suited for inclusion in laser-cooling schemes), rationalizing the observed trends in vibrational frequencies for diatomics and/or local mode oscillators within molecules or complexes and estimating and/or validating covalent bonding parameters within molecular mechanics force fields. …”

Measuring the nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment of optically trapped ytterbium atoms in the metastable state by Ayaki Sunaga, Yuiki Takahashi, Amar Vutha, Yoshiro Takahashi

“…We propose a scheme to measure a nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment (MQM), a $\mathcal{CP}$ -violating electromagnetic moment that appears in the nuclear sector, using the long-lived $^3P_2$ metastable state in neutral ^173 Yb atoms. Laser-cooling and trapping techniques enable us to prepare ultracold ^173 Yb atoms in the $^3P_2$ state trapped in an optical lattice or an optical tweezer array, providing an ideal experimental platform with long spin coherence time. …”
