We develop a semi-classical method to simulate the motion of
atoms in a dissipative optical lattice. Our method treats the
internal states of the atom quantum mechanically, including all
nonadiabatic couplings, while position and momentum are treated as
classical variables. We test our method in the one-dimensional
case. Excellent agreement with fully quantum mechanical simulations is
found. Our results are much more accurate than those of earlier
semi-classical methods based on the adiabatic approximation. 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

The spatial displacement of the 85Rb atoms in a
Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) under the influence of series of frequency
modulated light pulse pairs propagating opposite to each other is measured
as a function of the time elapsed after the start of the pulse train, and
compared with the results of simulations. Adiabatic excitation and
consecutive de-excitation take place between the ground
52S1/2 (F=3) and the 52P3/2 (F'=2, 3, 4) excited levels as the result of
the interaction. The displacement of the 85Rb atoms is calculated as
the solution of simple equation of motion where the expelling force is that
arising from the action of the frequency modulated light pulses. The
restoring and friction forces of the MOT are taken into account also. The
system of Bloch equations for the density matrix elements is solved
numerically for transitions between six working hyperfine levels of the atom
interacting with the sequence of the frequency modulated laser pulses.
According to these simulations, the momentum transferred by one pulse pair
is always smaller than the expected 2ħk, (1) where ħ is the Plank constant and
k=2π/λ where λ is the wavelength, (2) having a maximum
value in a restricted region of variation of the laser pulse peak intensity
and the chirp. 相似文献

We present here a detailed study of the behaviour of a three dimensional Brownian motor based on cold atoms in a double optical
lattice [P. Sj?lund et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 190602 (2006)]. This includes both experiments and numerical simulations of a Brownian particle. The potentials used are
spatially and temporally symmetric, but combined spatiotemporal symmetry is broken by phase shifts and asymmetric transfer
rates between potentials. The diffusion of atoms in the optical lattices is rectified and controlled both in direction and
speed along three dimensions. We explore a large range of experimental parameters, where irradiances and detunings of the
optical lattice lights are varied within the dissipative regime. Induced drift velocities in the order of one atomic recoil
velocity have been achieved. 相似文献

We study one-dimensional Sisyphus cooling on the transition of
87
Rb atoms in the electric field created by two counter-propagating linearly polarized laser beams with an angle of between the polarization directions. The neighbouring F
'=0 and F
'=2 excited states are found to play an important role in the cooling mechanism, e.g., by inhibiting a significant population of the velocity-selective dark state. Our experimental data, such as temperatures
and probe absorption coefficients, agree well with the results of quantum Monte-Carlo wavefunction simulations.

We have investigated the influence of narrow-line laser cooling on the loading of Ca atoms into optical dipole traps.
To describe the narrow-line cooling of alkaline-earth atoms in combination with optical dipole trapping, we have developed
a model
that takes into account the light shifts of the cooling transition in three dimensions.
The model is compared with two experimental realizations of optical dipole traps for calcium at the wavelengths 514 nm and
10.6 μm. 相似文献

We report the observation of resonances in the intensity correlation spectra of a 3D rubidium optical lattice, which we attribute
to light scattering from propagating atomic density fluctuations in the lattice. This process is the spontaneous analog of
the stimulated scattering mechanism recently described by Courtois et al.. We investigate the dependence of the new resonances on the lattice angle and show that they disappear for large angles,
thus resolving previous discrepancies on the subject.

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.

We have constructed a magneto-optical funnel for He atoms and studied its properties using a laser cooled, highly mono-energetic
atomic beam. A simple model of its action allows us to quantitatively understand the observed spot size and “focal length”.
We show that for a fast beam, the velocity damping coefficient plays an important role in determining the focal length of
the device. The observed spot size is limited mainly by transverse heating processes which impose a transverse velocity spread.
The device also permits easy scanning of the focussed spot.

We present a direct measurement of velocity distributions in two dimensions by using an absorption imaging technique in a
3D near resonant optical lattice. The results show a clear difference in the velocity distributions for the different directions.
The experimental results are compared with a numerical 3D semi-classical Monte-Carlo simulation. The numerical simulations
are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental results.

We study the deflection of sodium atoms by a resonantly tuned pulsed standing wave of high field intensity. The effects of
the phase fluctuations of the pulsed laser field on the momentum distribution of the deflected atoms are experimentally determined.
The results are explained using a theoretical model based on the generalized density matrix formalism of two-level atoms.

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.

Reflection of thermal atoms by a pulsed standing wave 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Reflection of thermal atoms by a pulsed standing wave with a duration in the nanosecond range is studied. The momentum distribution
of the reflected atoms is determined by calculations based on the adiabatic atom-photon interactions. It is shown that with
a proper choice of the field intensity and the pulse duration the standing-wave pattern functions as a row of independent
atom mirrors. At an optimum choice of the parameter values, the fraction of the elastically reflected atoms is more than 20%.
Furthermore, we show that the pulsed standing-wave mirror can be used to manipulate their final momentum distribution. When
using laser pulses with an intensity of several tens of MW/cm2, tens of thousands of atoms can be reflected by a single laser pulse.

Based upon the hidden Lie SU(1,1) symmetry, we have constructed the unitary decoupling transformation which diagonalizes the
multimode two-quantum Jaynes-Cummings model and provides us with an extremely convenient basis to gain a deeper understanding
of the dressing processes present in the matter-field interaction. This canonical transformation approach is very simple and
can be easily extended to other generalized Jaynes-Cummings models.

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".

We numerically study the spatial diffusion of an atomic cloud experiencing Sisyphus cooling in a three-dimensional linlin optical lattice in a broad range of lattice parameters. In particular, we investigate the dependence on the size of the
lattice sites which changes with the angle between the laser beams. We show that the steady-state temperature is largely independent
of the lattice angle, but that the spatial diffusion changes significantly. It is shown that the numerical results fulfill
the Einstein relations of Brownian motion in the jumping regime as well as in the oscillating regime. We finally derive an
effective Brownian motion model from first principles which gives good agreement with the simulations.

We report the fast accumulation of a large number of
metastable 52Cr atoms in a mixed trap, formed by the
superposition of a strongly confining optical trap and a quadrupolar
magnetic trap. The steady state is reached after about 400 ms,
providing a cloud of more than one million metastable atoms at a
temperature of about 100 μK, with a peak density of 1018
atoms m-3. We have optimized the loading procedure, and
measured the light shift of the 5D4 state by analyzing how the
trapped atoms respond to a parametric excitation. We compare this
result to a theoretical evaluation based on the available
spectroscopic data for chromium atoms. 相似文献

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.

We present an experimental study of the kinetic temperature of cesium atoms interacting with laser beams tuned on the blue
side of the transition. In the case of a three-dimensional four-beam molasses, temperatures as low as 800 nK were found. These low temperatures
are compatible with a good capture efficiency. The influence of other hyperfine transitions on the temperature is significant.
In the presence of a static magnetic field (antidot lattices), the temperatures are slightly higher but show a much weaker
dependence on the other hyperfine transitions.
