The usage of atomic vapors in technological applications has become increasingly relevant over the past few years. They are utilized e.g. in atomic clocks, magnetometers, as frequency reference or to slow down and store light. Integrated devices, which combine photonic structures and thermal atomic vapors on a chip, could be an ideal basis for such purposes, as they provide efficient atom-light coupling on a miniaturized scale.
We will report on the status of our work on various photonic structures such as dielectric waveguides, directional couplers and interferometers combined with thermal cesium vapor.
