abstract
The use of tapered optical fibers, i.e., optical nanofibers, for spectroscopy and the detection of small numbers of particles, such as neutral atoms or molecules, has been gaining ground in recent years. In this review, we briefly introduce the optical nanofiber, its fabrication and optical mode propagation within. We discuss recent progress on the integration of optical nanofibers into laser-cooled atom and vapor systems, paying particular attention to spectroscopy, cold atom cloud characterization and optical trapping schemes. Next, a natural extension on this work to molecules will be introduced. Finally, we consider several alternatives to optical nanofibers that display some advantages for particular applications.

Ferromagnetic Traps for Quasi-Continuous Operation of Optical Nanofiber Interfaces
Ferromagnetic plate assemblies generate ultra-straight 2D magnetic zero-field lines that allow quasi-continuous, field-free optical nanofiber interfaces without switching off the magneto-optical trap field.
