Abstract

We describe a trimodal resonator for the simultaneous delivery of three perpendicular magnetic fields. The resonator consists of a shielded loop single-mode radio frequency (rf) resonator placed inside of a bimodal waveguide microwave resonator. The microwave modes are nondegenerate, tunable over a range of 100 MHz, and have typical Q factors of 150 and 200. The rf mode is tunable over a range of 125 MHz, and has a typical Q of 45. Control of the relative phase between the three fields is demonstrated. The resonator will be used to drive three magnetic dipole transitions coherently between Zeeman states in the ground state of 87Rb.
