Retired projects (Fibre trap)

Experiment description

In a collaboration with the external pagegroup of Philip Russellcall_made at the Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, we are trying to build ion traps based on the fabrication methods for Photonic-Crystal-Fibres. The Russell group can fabricate structures from the millimetre to the nanometre scale. Current state of the art ion traps have dimensions which fall in this range, making this an appealing fabrication method with new possibilities.
