• Title: Characterization of Suspended Membrane Waveguides towards a Photonic Atom Trap Integrated Platform
• Abstract summary: photonic integrated platforms, with suspended membrane waveguides, successfully manages optical powers of 6 mW (500 um span) to nearly 30 mW (125 um span) over an un-tethered waveguide span. This work represents a significant step toward an integrated platform for coupling neutral atom quantum systems to photonic and electronic circuits on silicon.

• Abstract: We demonstrate an optical waveguide device, capable of supporting the high, in-vacuum, optical power necessary for trapping a single atom or a cold atom ensemble with evanescent fields. Our photonic integrated platforms, with suspended membrane waveguides, successfully manages optical powers of 6 mW (500 um span) to nearly 30 mW (125 um span) over an un-tethered waveguide span. This platform is compatible with laser cooling and magneto-optical traps (MOTs) in the vicinity of the suspended waveguide, called the membrane MOT and the needle MOT, a key ingredient for efficient trap loading. We evaluate two novel designs that explore critical thermal management features that enable this large power handling. This work represents a significant step toward an integrated platform for coupling neutral atom quantum systems to photonic and electronic integrated circuits on silicon.
