A simple theoretical approach based on Coulomb-Volkov states is introduced to predict ionisation of atoms by intense laser
pulses in cases where the effective interaction time does not exceed one or two optical cycles [M. Nisoli et al., Opt. Lett. 22, 522 (1997)]. Under these conditions, the energy distributions of ejected electrons predicted by this non-perturbative approach
are in very good agreement with “exact" results obtained by a full numerical treatment. The agreement is all the better that
the principal quantum number of the initial state is high. For very strong fields, most electrons are ejected at an energy
which is close to the classical kinetic energy that would be transferred to free electrons by the electromagnetic field during
the pulse. The power of the present approach appears when keV. In this region, full numerical treatments become very lengthy and finally do not converge. However, the present Coulomb-Volkov
theory still makes reliable predictions in very short computer times.

We report on a theoretical and experimental investigation of 39K magneto-optical trapping. The small hyperfine splitting characterizing the upper level of the cooling transition affects
the cooling mechanism. In order to model the atom-laser interaction, the whole level structure of the D2 line has to be taken into account. Two different regimes have been recognized, one optimizing the loading of the trap, the
second minimizing the temperature of the atoms. We investigated these two regimes experimentally and found results in agreement
with the theoretical predictions.

We report a study of transverse laser cooling on a metastable helium beam using spectrally broadened diode lasers (“white
light") to increase its flux. For this purpose, beam profile and atomic flux versus laser power and other parameters have been characterized. We have performed experiments to compare this technique with other
transverse cooling methods using monochromatic light. Best results are obtained with a “ziz-zag" configuration using “white
light".

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 report results of a theoretical and experimental study of the ground state nonlinear Hanle effect under strong laser excitation.
It is shown that besides the well-known zero-magnetic field suppression of absorption on F
g = F→F
e = F - 1 transitions caused by population trapping, an optical pumping induced enhanced absorption occurs on F
g = F→F
e = F + 1 transitions for small B-fields. The latter effect becomes more pronounced for high F values. The experiment with atomic vapor of Cs (D2 line, F
g = 4) confirms an increase of the spectrally unresolved fluorescence yield at zero magnetic field and 600 mW/cm2 laser intensity by 9% or 42%, when excitation occurs with linearly or circularly polarized light, respectively. The results
of the experiment agree with numerical simulation studies using equations of motion for a density matrix.

We employ laser cooling to intensify and cool an atomic beam of metastable Ne(3
s) atoms. Using several collimators, a slower and a compressor we achieve a 20Ne* flux of 6×10
10
atoms/s in an 0.7 mm diameter beam traveling at 100 m/s, and having longitudinal and transverse temperatures of 25 mK and 300μK, respectively. This constitutes the highest flux in a concentrated beam achieved to date with metastable rare gas atoms.
We characterize the action of the various cooling stages in terms of their influence on the flux, diameter and divergence
of the atomic beam. The brightness and brilliance achieved are 2.1 ×10
21
s-1m-2sr-1 and 5.0 ×10

s-1m-2sr-1, respectively, comparable to the highest values reported for alkali-metal beams. Bright beams of the 21Ne and 22Ne isotopes have also been created.

considered perturbatively. The present calculations show that the spin-polarized technique which is mainly applied to the
ground states of atoms may also be applied to atoms ionized in the inner shells with a good degree of accuracy.

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.

The effect of the polarization of the atomic core by the outer electron on near threshold photoionization of excited alkali
atoms Ak(np) (Ak = Na-Cs; n=3-6) is investigated. Partial and total cross-sections for photo-ionization of the np-electron were computed utilizing the configuration interaction technique with Pauli-Fock atomic orbitals (CIPF) and including
the long range core polarization potential (CP). To calculate the core polarization potential the variational principle is
applied. Comparison with previous theoretical results and with available experimental data is made for the total cross-section
, for the electron angular distribution parameter , for the ratio of the reduced electric dipole matrix elements and for the phase shift difference , associated with the d-wave and s-wave continua, respectively. In the comparison, new experimental results for , , and , measured for laser-excited, polarized 39K(4p
3/2) atoms, have been included.

We present calculations of the fivefold differential cross-section (FDCS) for double photoionization of helium at excess energies
of 6 and 20 eV above threshold. Our results are obtained using for the final double-continuum state a product of three Coulomb
wave functions, with the Sommerfeld parameters modified to describe the strength of interaction of any two particles affected
by the third particle. Our calculations are compared with recent absolute measurements by D?rner et al. (Phys. Rev. A 57, 1074 (1998)), both in coplanar and non-coplanar geometries. Very good agreement is obtained for the shape of the angular
distributions, and differences in the absolute magnitude exist in comparison with the standard choice of Sommerfeld parameters.

3/2 and 5d
5/2 continuum channels of atomic barium observed by Wang, Chen and Elliott [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 2416 (1996)] in the study of coherent control through two-color resonant interfering paths. The atomic parameters obtained
from a theoretical approach based on a combination of jj-coupled eigenchannel R-matrix and Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory are used to analyze the photoionization spectra from the and 6s7p
states with polarized light beams. The studied energy range includes the 6p7p autoionizing resonances. The dynamics of the two-color photoionization is governed by the coherent excitation of the 6s6p and intermediate states. This excitation is described as an adiabatic process in the rotating wave approximation. The influence
of the radiative decay, spatial distribution of the intensities of the laser beams and hyperfine interaction is discussed.

We develop quantum models for the combined external and internal motion of atoms in a strongly coupled driven cavity mode
including the transverse degrees of freedom. Using a simplified Gaussian mode function we determine the parameter regimes
and prospects of 3D cooling and confinement of one or two atoms in the cavity field. Analysing the field dynamics for slow
atoms traversing the cavity, we show that the spectrum of the transmitted and spontaneously scattered light contains ample
information on the motional dynamics of the atom and can be nicely used to investigate the cooling properties of the system.
Including several atoms in the dynamics we show how motional correlations build up by the common interaction with the cavity
field. This can be looked upon as collisions at far distance and can be monitored via the transmitted field dynamics.

Over the past three years we have developed the technique of buffer-gas cooling and loading of atoms and molecules into magnetic
traps. Buffer-gas cooling relies solely on elastic collisions (thermalization) of the species-to-be-trapped with a cryogenically
cooled helium gas and so is independent of any particular energy level pattern. This makes the cooling technique general and
potentially applicable to any species trappable at the temperature of the buffer gas (as low as 240 mK). Using buffer-gas
loading, paramagnetic atoms (europium and chromium) as well as a molecule (calcium monohydride) were trapped at temperatures
around 300 mK. The numbers of the trapped atoms and molecules were respectively about 1012 and 108. The atoms and molecules were produced by laser ablation of suitable solid precursors. In conjunction with evaporative cooling,
buffer-gas loaded magnetic traps offer the means to further lower the temperature and increase the density of the trapped
ensemble to study a large variety of both static (spectra) and dynamic (collisional cross-sections) properties of many atoms
and molecules at ultra-low temperatures. In this article we survey our main results obtained on Cr, Eu, and CaH and outline
prospects for future work.

The measurements of fine-structure changing collisions in a cesium magneto-optical trap, reported in a previous work [A. Fioretti
et al., Phys. Rev. A 55, R3999 (1997)], are reanalyzed within a model based on the flux enhancement effect, which takes place in cold atomic collisions.
In the present analysis, we consider the cooperative effect of the long-range and the shorter-range excitation by the strong
trap laser. We evidence also the important role of the hyperfine structure of the Cs2 molecular levels asymptotically connected to the ground-state and excited-state dissociation limits.

We report the realization of a new type of magnetostatic mirror for slowly moving atoms which comprises a planar array of
parallel wires alternately carrying electric current in opposite directions. One of the features of this atomic mirror is
that the magnetic field may be readily varied, switched or modulated by altering the current in the wires. Reflection signals
close to 100% at a pulsed current of 3 A are demonstrated for a beam of free-falling laser-cooled cesium atoms at normal incidence.
The current dependence of the reflection signals exhibits structure which is associated with the sequential onset of reflection
of cesium 62
S

, F=4 atoms in the m=+4, +3, +2 and +1 magnetic states. Measurements of the spatial distribution of the reflected atoms indicate the reflection

A detailed experimental study of the steady-state temperature in a 3D optical lattice for cesium has been performed for a
wide range of detunings. Specifically, we have investigated the situation with the cooling and trapping light detuned far
red of a ( J
g↦J
e = J
g + 1)-transition, where the blue detuned interaction with a ( J
g↦J
e = J
g)-transition can not be neglected. We find that the temperature scales with the optical potential due to the interaction with
just the ( J
g↦J
e = J
g + 1)-transition. This indicates that blue Sisyphus cooling has essentially no effect on the dynamics of the system, when
there exists a neighbouring red detuned transition.

We utilized a blue-detuned Laguerre-Gaussian (doughnut) laser beam to trap cold rubidium atoms by optical dipole force. ”Pulsed”
polarization gradient cooling was applied to the trapped atoms to suppress the trap loss due to heating caused by random photon
scattering of the trapping light. In this trap about 108 atoms were initially captured and the trap lifetime was 1.5 s, which was consistent with losses due to background gas collisions.
This trap can readily be applied to atom guiding, compression, and evaporative cooling.
