Loading of cold ~(87)Rb atom with diffuse light in an integrating sphere

<正>Cold ~(87)Rb atom's loading in an integrating sphere with diffuse light is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The experimental results show that diffuse light cooling has the greatest efficiency to cool the most atoms when the red detuning between the frequencies of cooling light and atom transition is about 3.3r(Γis the natural linewidth,6.065 MHz).Theoretical analysis using rate equation and numerical calculations on the cold atom number and loading time agree with the experimental results.This integrating sphere cooling would be a novel method for cooling atoms and lead to a new and robust cold atom source for atomic clock.     

可扩展的用于量子信息处理的刻槽平面离子芯片设计

研究设计了一个有效的可扩展的二维刻槽离子芯片。为了减少激光在离子芯片表面的散射,使被囚禁离子更加稳定,并使激光容易控制和探测成行的被囚禁离子,在每两个平行的射频电极中间刻槽使冷却光和探测光路径可穿过芯片。把控制离子运动的直流电极跟射频电极分开,减轻了不同电压对被囚禁离子的干扰,改进了对离子的控制。用有限元分析的方法对芯片表面上方的电势分布做了计算模拟。模拟结果表明,在这种新型的刻槽可扩展芯片上可以生成一个可扩展的离子阱阵列。这种结构提供了一个新颖的刻槽二维平面离子芯片,被囚禁其上的线形离子阵列可用来进行大型的量子信息处理。     

Ramsey interaction with transverse decay

The Ramsey fringe contrast of a pulsed optically pumped cold atom clock is strongly affected by the transverse decay of the atomic sample. This letter calculates the Ramsey fringe with focus on transverse decay, and analyzes the Ramsey fringe contrast with different transverse decay rates. By fitting the experimental data, we obtain the transverse decay rate in a cold atom sample at an approximate value of 30.5 s1 , which is much smaller than that in a cell.

Reaching a few 10~(-15) long-term stability of integrating sphere cold atom clock

We present the long-term stability of the integrating sphere cold atom clock(ISCAC) and analyze its systematic limitations. The relative frequency instability of 2.6 × 10~(-15) is reached for an averaging time of 2 ×10~5 s. The second-order Zeeman effect and the cavity pulling effect in ISCAC, which would induce the frequency drift from the clock transition, are analyzed. The analytical and experimental results indicate that the cavity pulling effect is the main contribution to the long-term frequency instability of the ISCAC. Further technical improvements to the microwave cavity are also discussed.

The pressure effect for the measurement of differential cross section is introduced and analysed in detail. Three conclusions are obtained: the double scattered coefficient E(θ) is proportional to the strength A 0 of the excitations measured at 0°; E(θ) increases with the increasing of scattered angle; the values of E(θ) can be positive or negative. The front two conclusions are tested by experiment, and it is pointed that they are helpful to the measurement of differential cross section.     

Generalized oscillator strengths for some higher valence-shell excitations of krypton atom

The valence-shell excitations of krypton atom have been investigated by fast electron impact with an angle-resolved electron-energy-loss spectrometer. The generalized oscillator strengths for some higher mixed valence-shell excitations in 4d, 4f, 5p, 5d, 6s, 6p, 7s ←4p of krypton atom have been determined. Their profiles are discussed, and the generalized oscillator strengths for the electric monopole and quadrupole excitations in 5p ← 4p are compared with the calculations of Amusia et al. （Phys. Rev. A 67 022703 （2003））. The differences between the experimental results and theoretical calculations show that more studies are needed.     

An effective pumping method for increasing atomic utilization in a compact cold atom clock

We propose a simple pumping method to increase the effective population of cold atoms in the clock state and investigate the factors which affect the pumping efficiency in cold atom systems. We report the theory and demonstrate the corresponding experiment in an ⁸⁷Rb integrating sphere cold atom clock. The experimental results show that the population of cold atoms in the Zeeman sublevel |F=2, m_F=0> is approximately 1.62 times that of the result using optical pumping alone. This method can also be applied to increase the effective population in any one of the target Zeeman sublevels in other cold atom systems.
