激光准直铬原子束研究

利用多普勒原理对Cr原子束进行横向准直.为了得到好的激光准直效果必须首先把激光的中心频率稳定在偏离Cr原子共振中心频率－5±0.26 MHz的位置上.经过多次的理论与实验得出了优化的实验参量,并且得出如果探测光束与准直光束不平行会造成横向线宽的展宽.根据实验数据选择合适的实验参量,实现利用多普勒原理横向准直Cr原子束,得到准直后Cr原子束的横向发散角为0.48 mrad, 横向温度为265 μK.

原子的激光冷却与捕陷（Ⅱ）

三、原子束的激光准直 上述激光减速原子束方法并不能得到很窄的原子束.相反,在减速途径上原子束会不断扩束.其原因:一是从束源出发时原子束总有原始发散角,束截面随路程增大;二是减速过程存在着横向加热效应.我们说原子在减速过程中因吸收反向光子而损失动量,而在各向同性的自发辐射中动量变化为零,这是统计平均的结果.”实际上每次具体发射时原子还是有动量变化的.这种变化的轴向分量最终导致纵向速率涨落,而横向分量会无规则地不断积累,最后使原子获得一平均横向速度υ.这就是横向加热.设减速过程中发生了n次吸收和发射光子的元动作,则为…

Bright thermal atomic beams by laser cooling: A 1400-fold gain in beam flux

Using a three-step transverse laser cooling scheme, a strongly diverging flow of metastable Ne(3s ³ P ₂] atoms is compressed into a well-collimated, small diameter atomic beam (e.g., 1.4 mrad HWHM divergence at 3.6 mm beam diameter) with an unmodified axial velocity distribution centered at 580 m/s. The maximum increase in beam flux 1.04 m downstream of the source is a factor 1400; the maximum increase in phase space density, i.e., brightness, is a factor 160. The laser power used is only 140 mW. The scheme is extendable to a large variety of atomic species and enables the application of bright atomic beams in many areas of physics.     

Preparation of relativistic 7Li+ ion beams for precision experiments at storage rings

Heavy ion storage rings allow for tests of the structure of local space time via the Doppler effect. At the TSR/Heidelberg an experiment with high resolution laser spectroscopy at ⁷Li⁺ is performed. To gain the maximum resolution for saturation spectroscopy new methods of relativistic ion beam preparation and diagnostics have been developed. The laser cooling of the beam allows for precision determination of the mean velocity of the ions. A novel phase synchronous detection scheme, ultimately sensitive to single ions, gives insights into the cooling mechanism and dynamics. With an additional synchronous excitation scheme systematic uncertainties of the test experiment can be drastically reduced. After separation of the ground state ions from the triplet states of ⁷Li⁺ by the combination of laser and electron cooling, a bunched and cooled ensemble of fast moving high precision clocks with minimized perturbations by space charge effects and intra beam scattering is available. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

High-resolution spectroscopy with and frequency stabilization of a cw dye laser

The hyperfine splittings of the Na D₁ and D₂ lines were investigated using a single mode cw dye laser. The light of the laser was scattered by the atoms of an atomic beam and the fluorescent light was observed as the frequency of the laser was tuned across the D lines. The Doppler width of the atomic beam was reduced to about 2.5 MHz so that the absorption width of the atoms of the beam was essentially determined by the natural width of the 3²P_1/2 and 3²P_3/2 levels, which is about 10 MHz. Since the linewidth observed for the hyperfine transitions was 30 MHz, most of the hyperfine components of the D₁ and D₂ lines could be resolved. In another experiment the frequency of the dye laser was locked to a hyperfine transition of the D₁ line. The observed variation of the output frequency of the dye laser was less than ±1.5 MHz. In addition, the intensity of the dye laser was controlled to about 10⁻³, using an electro-optically variable transmission filter.

Magnetooptical compression of atomic beams

We consider the propagation of an atomic beam in a quadrupole magnetic field under transverse irradiation by a cooling laser field. The cooling laser field was chosen in the form of a two-dimensional σ⁺-σ^? configuration. We show that the sub-Doppler resonance in the radiation force can be used to reduce the diameter of the atomic beam to a value on the order of 10 mm. We establish that the simultaneous transverse cooling and compression of the atomic beam allow its phase density to be increased to values of the order of 10^?4–10^?3. The dipole interaction of an atom with the cooling and compressing laser field in a quadrupole magnetic field is analyzed in terms of a simple (3 + 5)-level model atom.

Laser guiding of cold molecules in a hollow optical fiber and continuous-wave cold molecular beam generation

A novel scheme for guiding arbitrary buffer-gas cooled neutral molecules in a hollow optical fiber (HOF) using a red-detuned HE₁₁ mode is proposed and analysed theoretically. We give the electromagnetic field distribution of the HE₁₁ mode in the HOF and calculate the optical potential of an I₂ molecule, and study the molecule guiding mechanism using a classical Monte Carlo simulation. Using a 6 kW input laser, an S-shape HOF with a 2 cm curvature radius for both bends, and an input molecular beam with a transverse temperature of 0.5 K and longitudinal temperature of 5 K, we obtain a guiding efficiency of ～0.126% for the scheme, and the transverse and longitudinal temperatures of the guided molecular beam are 1.9 mK and 0.5 K, respectively.
