摘要
We report on an ultra-low birefringence dodecagonal glass cell for ultra-high vacuum applications. The epoxy-bonded trapezoidal windows of the cell are made of SF57 glass, which exhibits a very low stress-induced birefringence. We characterize the birefringence Delta n of each window with the cell under vacuum conditions, obtaining values around 10(-8). After baking the cell at 150 degrees C, we reach a pressure below 10(-10) mbar. In addition, each window is antireflection coated on both sides, which is highly desirable for quantum optics experiments and precision measurements. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
