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 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.

A continuous cold atomic beam from a magneto-optical trap 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
L. Cacciapuoti A. Castrillo M. de Angelis G.M. Tino 《The European Physical Journal D - Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics》2001,15(2):245-249
We have developed and characterized a new method to produce a continuous beam of cold atoms from a standard vapour-cell magneto-optical
trap (MOT). The experimental apparatus is very simple. Using a single laser beam it is possible to hollow out in the source
MOT a direction of unbalanced radiation pressure along which cold atoms can be accelerated out of the trap. The transverse
cooling process that takes place during the extraction reduces the beam divergence. The atomic beam is used to load a magneto-optical
trap operating in an ultra-high vacuum environment. At a vapour pressure of 10-8mbar in the loading cell, we have produced a continuous flux of 7×107atoms/s at the recapture cell with a mean velocity of 14 m/s. A comparison of this method with a pulsed transfer scheme is
presented.

The atom optics of Bose-Einstein condensates containing a vortex of circulation one is discussed. We first analyze in detail
the reflection of such a condensate falling on an atomic mirror. In a second part, we consider a rotating condensate in the
case of attractive interactions. We show that for sufficiently large nonlinearity the rotational symmetry of the rotating
condensate is broken.

We report a new method to generate an optical dipole potential with a null intensity region surrounded in all directions by
light walls. This is achieved with a simple scheme based on a conical lens. Applications to optical trapping of neutral atoms
are discussed.

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
22
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.

A general scheme for reducing the center-of-mass entropy is proposed. It is based on the repetition of a cycle, composed of
three concepts: velocity selection, deceleration and irreversible accumulation. Well-known laser techniques are used to represent
these concepts: Raman π-pulse for velocity selection, STIRAP for deceleration, and a single spontaneous emission for irreversible
accumulation. No closed pumping cycle nor repeated spontaneous emissions are required, so the scheme is applicable to cool
a molecular gas. The quantum dynamics are analytically modelled using the density matrix. It is shown that during the coherent
processes the gas is translationally cooled. The internal states serve as an entropy sink, in addition to spontaneous emission.
This scheme provides new possibilities to translationally laser-cool molecules for high precision molecular spectroscopy and
interferometry.

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 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 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 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".

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 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.

ions trapped in a linear Paul trap and composed of two ion species. We discuss extensively sympathetic cooling of the chain

We demonstrate experimentally the continuous and pulsed loading of a slow and cold atomic beam into a magnetic guide. The
slow beam is produced using a vapor loaded laser trap, which ensures two-dimensional magneto-optical trapping, as well as
cooling by a moving molasses along the third direction. It provides a continuous flux larger than 109 atoms/s with an adjustable mean velocity ranging from 0.3 to 3 m/s, and with longitudinal and transverse temperatures smaller
than 100 μK. Up to 3×108 atoms/s are injected into the magnetic guide and subsequently guided over a distance of 40 cm.

A beam of diatomic molecules scattered off a standing wave laser mode splits according to the rovibrational quantum state
of the molecules. Our numerical calculation shows that single state resolution can be achieved by properly tuned, monochromatic
light. The proposed scheme allows for selecting non-vibrating and non-rotating molecules from a thermal beam, implementing
a laser Maxwell's demon to prepare a rovibrationally cold molecular ensemble.

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.
