We have established a caesium double magneto-optical trap (MOT) system for
cavity-QED experiment, and demonstrated the continuous transfer of cold caesium
atoms from the vapour-cell MOT with a pressure of ~ 1×10-6 Pa to
the ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) MOT with a pressure of ~ 8×10-8 Pa via a
focused continuous-wave transfer laser beam. The effect of frequency detuning as
well as the intensity of the transfer beam is systematically investigated, which
makes the transverse cooling adequate before the atoms leak out of the vapour-cell
MOT to reduce divergence of the cold atomic beam. The typical cold atomic flux got
from vapour-cell MOT is ~2×107 atoms/s. About 5×106
caesium atoms are recaptured in the UHV MOT. 相似文献

We present a simple and efficient source of slow atoms. From a background vapour loaded magneto-optical trap (MOT), a thin
laser beam extracts a continuous jet of cold rubidium atoms. The jet that is typical to leaking MOT systems is created without
any optical parts placed inside the vacuum chamber. We also present a simple three dimensional numerical simulation of the
atomic motion in the presence of these multiple saturating laser fields combined with the inhomogeneous magnetic field of
the MOT. At a pressure of P
Rb87 = 10-8 mbar and with a moderate laser power of 10 mW per beam, we generate a flux Φ = 1.3×108 atoms/s with a mean velocity of 14 m/s and a divergence of 10 mrad.

In a magneto-optical trap (MOT) we are able to simultaneously trap and cool 7Li and Na. We investigated the loading behavior of the cloud of Li atoms in presence of the overlapped cloud of cold Na atoms,
and, by blocking the weak repumping beam for Na, compared it with the loading curve for Li atoms only. Out of these loading
curves we calculated the collision cross-section of Na on Li to be 10-11 cm

A two element magneto-optical trap (MOT) for Na and 7Li or 6Li is used to cool and trap each of them separately. A fraction of the cold atoms is maintained in the first 2P3/2 excited state by the cooling laser. These excited state atoms are ionized by laser light in the near-UV region, giving rise
to a smaller number of trapped atoms and to different loading parameters. Photoionization cross-sections were derived out
of these data. They are in reasonable agreement with data previously obtained using thermal samples and with theoretical predictions.

We demonstrate experimentally the continuous and pulsed loading of a slow and cold atomic beam into a magnetic guide. The
slow beam is produced using a vapor loaded laser trap, which ensures two-dimensional magneto-optical trapping, as well as
cooling by a moving molasses along the third direction. It provides a continuous flux larger than 109 atoms/s with an adjustable mean velocity ranging from 0.3 to 3 m/s, and with longitudinal and transverse temperatures smaller
than 100 μK. Up to 3×108 atoms/s are injected into the magnetic guide and subsequently guided over a distance of 40 cm.

We demonstrate an experimental setup for the production of a beam source of cold 87Rb atoms. The atoms are extracted from a trapped cold atomic cloud in an unbalanced three-dimensional magneto-optical trap. Via a radiation pressure difference generated by a specially designed leak tunnel along one trapping laser beam, the atoms are pushed out continuously with low velocities and a high flux. The most-probable velocity in the beam is varied from 9 m/s to 19 m/s by varying the detuning of the trapping laser beams in the magneto-optical trap and the flux can be tuned up to 4×109 s-1 by increasing the intensity of the trapping beams. We also present a simple model for describing the dependence of the beam performance on the magneto-optical trap trapping laser intensity and the detuning. 相似文献

Single atoms transferring between a magneto-optical trap and a far-off-resonance optical dipole trap 下载免费PDF全文
Based on our work on single cesium atoms trapped in a
large-magnetic-gradient vapour-cell magneto-optical trap (MOT), the
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is remarkably improved. Also a
far-off-resonance optical dipole trap (FORT) formed by a
strongly-focused 1064~nm single frequency Nd:YVO4 laser beam is
introduced. One cesium atom is prepared in the MOT, and then it can
transfer successfully between the MOT and the FORT which is
overlapped with the MOT. Utilizing the effective transfer, the
lifetime of single atoms trapped in the FORT is measured to be
6.9± 0.3~s. Thus we provide a system where the atomic qubit can
be coherently manipulated. 相似文献

We transfer cold ^87 Rb atoms from a vapour cell chamber to a spatially separated UHV magneto-optical trap (MOT) with the assistance of a red-detuned optical guiding beam and a normal push beam. Efficient optical guiding of the cold atoms is observed within a small detuning window. A pulsed optical guiding beam enhances the transfer efficiency and hence allows us to collect more atoms in UHV MOT in a shorter time, which is favourable for our experiment of achieving Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). Besides the easy operation, another advantage of this optical guiding technique is also demonstrated such that slower atomic beams may be efficiently transferred along horizontal direction. This study is a direct application of the optical guiding technique as a powerful tool. 相似文献

Realization of a single-beam mini magneto-optical trap: A candidate for compact CPT cold atom-clocks
We have demonstrated the experimental realization of a single-beam mini magneto-optical trap of 87Rb atoms, originally designed for a cold atom-clock with coherent population trapping (CPT). Only one beam is used as cooling, trapping and repumping beams rather than the three pairs of orthogonal beams of the standard magneto-optical trap. The core optics, which consists of a modified pyramidal funnel type mirror, a quarter-wave plate and a retroreflect mirror, is installed inside a mini titanium cubic chamber. The vacuum system, rubidium source, magnetic field coils and beam expander are designed in a compact geometry. As many as 1.1 × 107 rubidium atoms are cooled and trapped, and thus the mini trap is ready for the implementation of a novel compact coherent population trapping cold atom-clock. 相似文献

We report the first magneto-optical trapping of radioactive 135Cs and 137Cs and a promising means for detecting these isotopes at ultra-sensitive levels by coupling a magneto-optical trap (MOT) to
a mass separator. A sample containing both isotopes was placed in the source of a mass separator, ionized, mass-separated,
and implanted in a Zr foil within the trapping cell. After implantation, atoms were released from the foil by inductive heating
and then captured in a MOT that used large-diameter beams and a dry-film-coated cell to achieve high trapping efficiency.
Trapped-atom numbers in the case of either isotope ranged from 104 to 107, as determined from the MOT fluorescence signal. Over this trapped-atom range, the MOT fluorescence signal was found to increase
linearly with the number of atoms implanted in the foil and without isotopic bias to within 4%. In principle, this method
can then provide a measurement of the 137Cs/135Cs ratio accurate to within 4% through the direct ratio of MOT fluorescence signals. The fluorescence signal from stable 133Cs, when implanted and released from the foil, was suppressed relative to MOT signals by more than seven orders of magnitude
when the system was tuned to trap 135Cs or 137Cs. When combined with the isotopic selectivity of ≥105 for the mass separator, the overall suppression of 133Cs is expected to exceed 1012. At present our system delivers atoms from sample to MOT with an efficiency of 0.5%, has a trapped-atom detection limit of
4000 atoms, and achieves a sample-detection sensitivity of one million atoms.

We report on a compact high-efficiency Cs slow atom beam source based on a retro-reflected two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT). Employing two laser beams in an angled retro-reflected setup, we achieve 3D MOT loading rates greater than 8?×?109?atoms/s using only 20?mW of total laser power for the source. 相似文献

We have developed a simple magnetic transport method for the efficient loading of cold atoms into a magnetic trap. Laser-cooled
87Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) are transferred to a quadrupole magnetic trap and they are then transported as far
as 50 cm by moving magnetic trap coils with a low excess heating of atoms. A light induced atom desorption technique helps
to reduce the collision loss during the magnetic transport. Using this method, we can load cold 87Rb atoms into a magnetic trap in an ultra high vacuum chamber with high efficiency, and we can produce 87Rb condensate atoms.

We demonstrated laser cooling and trapping of thulium atoms at sub-Doppler temperatures in a magneto-optical trap (MOT). Up
to 3 × 106 thulium atoms were trapped in the MOT at temperatures down to 25(5) μK which is approximately 10 times lower than the Doppler
limit. The lifetime of atoms in the MOT varied between 0.3–1.5 s and was restricted mostly by optical leaks from the upper
cooling level. The lower limit for the leaking rate was estimated to be 22(6) s−1. Due to a big magnetic moment of Tm atoms, a part of them were trapped in a magnetic trap from the quadrupole field of the
MOT. We observed about 3 × 104 purely magnetically trapped atoms at temperature of 25 μK with a lifetime in the trap of 0.5 s. Also we set up a “dark” MOT
consisting of six crossed hollow beams which increased the number of trapped atoms by a factor of 5 leading to 1.5 × 107 atoms at the expense of higher temperature. 相似文献

The displacement of Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) caused by the force of a finite time series of counter-propagating
frequency modulated light pulse pairs is measured as a function of the chirp of the pulses. The frequency modulated light
pulses induced 85Rb 52S1/2 F=3 ↔ 85Rb 52P3/2 F'=2, 3, 4 excitation and de-excitation of the atoms. The result of this excitation
de-excitation process is a force causing the acceleration and, consequently, the displacement of the maximum of the spatial
distribution of the trap atoms. The time dependence of the populations of the levels of the atom are calculated — including
also the 85Rb 52S1/2 F=2 and F'=1 states — as
the result of the interaction with the finite train of counter propagating frequency modulated light pulses by the solution
of the Bloch equations. As the result of the measurement the interval of the chirp of the frequency modulated light of given
intensity where the transitions take place, are determined. The results of the experiment and the expectation on the basis
of model calculations are in qualitative agreement. 相似文献
