激光冷却获得高亮度的亚稳态惰性气体原子束和原子阱

高强度的亚稳态惰性原子束流在原子分子物理实验研究中具有广泛的应用.使用射频电离方法和激光横向冷却技术制备了高强度的亚稳态氪原子束流,并使用数值模拟方法对横向冷却激光场中的原子径迹进行了分析.通过激光诱导荧光光谱方法测量原子束的束流特性,结果显示,横向冷却后在束流源下游230 cm处的原子束流强度达1.6atoms/(s*sr),束流强度提高了两个量级.利用这种高强度原子束流,我们成功囚禁了1.3×10¹⁰个亚稳态⁸⁴Kr原子,同时冷原子装载速率达到了3.0×10¹¹atoms/s;并利用该装置成功地实现了高亮度的亚稳态氩原子束和原子阱. 关键词： 横向冷却 原子束 原子阱 惰性气体

一种新颖的实现纳米条纹沉积方法研究

利用近共振激光驻波场操纵中性原子实现纳米量级条纹沉积技术是一种新型的研制纳米结构长度传递标准的方法,采用了一种新颖的方法,通过预准直孔的设定,将原子束在空间分成三部分,利用中间部分的原子束和近共振激光驻波场相互作用,在激光驻波场辐射压力作用下使原子按照特定周期沉积在基板上,从而实现纳米条纹的制作.利用两侧部分的原子束与探测激光束相互作用,通过其感生荧光来监测中间部分原子束沉积过程中的准直效果,从而为原子的沉积过程提供实时的原子束特性监测.最后对纳米沉积条纹在经由三狭缝预准直结构作用前后的效果进行了三维仿真,结果表明,未采用该三狭缝预准直结构时,纳米沉积条纹的半高宽为32nm,对比度为8∶1,而采用该三狭缝预准直结构之后,纳米沉积条纹的半高宽为6.2nm,对比度为28∶1,大大提高了纳米沉积条纹的质量.     

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…

Theoretically study on measurement of velocity distribution by means of laser induced fluorescence

Based on two-level atomic density matrix movement equation and emitting operator, the physical model is established for laser induced moving atomic resonant fluores cence. Theoretically study showsthat the measurement of atomic velocity distribution by means of laser induced fluorescence is only valid when the physical factors, such as atomic natural line width, laser power, laser line width, is suitably selected.     

Observation of collimation and decollimation of an atomic beam in a misaligned standing wave

This paper reports an experimental study on the collimation and decollimation of an atomic beam in a misaligned standing wave, in which the effective detuning caused by the Doppler effect is affected by the longitudinal velocity of the atomic beam. The experiment shows that in a strong field with red detuning between laser field and atomic transition frequency, laser heating in a normal standing wave becomes laser cooling in a misaligned standing wave for an approriate misalignment angle. For blue detuning, laser cooling in a standing wave can also become laser heating in a misaligned standing wave for an appropriate condition. These results ca be used in controling atomic motion.     

Doppler-free frequency-modulation spectroscopy of atomic erbium in a hollow-cathode discharge cell

The erbium atomic system is a promising candidate for an atomic Bose–Einstein condensate of atoms with a non-vanishing orbital angular momentum (L≠0) of the electronic ground state. In this paper we report on the frequency stabilization of a blue external cavity diode laser system on the 400.91 nm laser cooling transition of atomic erbium. Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy is applied within a hollow-cathode discharge tube to the corresponding electronic transition of several of the erbium isotopes. Using the technique of frequency-modulation spectroscopy, a zero-crossing error signal is produced to lock the diode laser frequency on the atomic erbium resonance. The latter is taken as a reference laser to which a second main laser system, used for laser cooling of atomic erbium, is frequency stabilized.     

Relaxation shift of the laser action frequency

It is found that the change of the atomic spectrum by a laser field leads to a modification of atomic relaxation. The modification of the dissipative part of the atomic kinetic equations results in a frequency shift of the laser action.     

The coherence and spectra of a Bose condensate generated by an atomic laser

The first-order coherence dynamics of a Bose condensate generated by a cw atomic laser with evaporative cooling is analyzed. For the atomic-laser multimode model, the coherence functions and atomic field spectra are calculated by the master equation technique. Elastic collisions in the trapped atomic gas lead to significant broadening of the atomic laser line, a shift of its center, and a multi peak structure of the spectra. The oscillatory time dynamics of the atomic-field coherence function is studied. For the atomic laser, the free phase diffusion of the field typical of optical lasers, and characterized by monotonically decreasing mean field with a constant mean phase, is absent due to elastic collisions.

Radiative corrections in laser-dressed atoms: formalism and applications

The dressing of atomic states in a strong laser field modifies the structure of the incoherently scattered fraction of the laser intensity, which is described to a good approximation by the Mollow spectrum. The incoherent spectrum is generated by the fluctuations of the atomic dipole moment about its expectation value, and the positions of the peaks are approximately given by the energy differences between the dressed atomic energy levels. In this paper, we investigate radiative corrections received by the dressed states. Our calculations are motivated by the quest to understand in detail the interplay of a bound electron dressed by the highly populated laser mode and its interaction with the vacuum modes. Alternatively, this may be seen as an electron experiencing modified stimulated and spontaneous radiative corrections in a vacuum tailored by the laser field. We obtain dressed self-energy shifts that depend on the Rabi flopping frequency (and in turn on the laser intensity) and on the detuning of the laser field relative to the atomic resonance frequency. We find that the dressed radiative corrections differ in a nontrivial manner from the radiative shifts of the ‘bare’ atomic states.

Vacuum polarization for atomic quasienergy states

Vacuum polarization for an atomic system in the laser field is considered in the representation of quasienergy states as a radiation correction to the quasienergy. It is shown that laser effects are absent in the polarization fermion loop in case of resonant mixing of atomic levels. Perspectivity of investigation of laser effects in vacuum polarization of muonic atoms is discussed.     

Laser action of C,N, O,F, Cl,and Br in hollow cathode discharges

C, N, O, F, Cl, and Br red and infrared laser emission was investigated using hollow cathode discharges in gas mixtures of helium and molecules containing the corresponding atoms. A total of 33 laser lines with wavelengths from 0.7 to 2.0m was observed. Three laser lines of atomic C, five laser lines of atomic N, two laser lines of atomic Cl and five laser lines of atomic Br were observed for the first time. Dissociation charge transfer and dissociative excitation transfer are suggested as being responsible for populating the upper laser levels.
