Generating of squeezed atom laser via stimulated Raman transition

We present a scheme to generate a squeezed atom laser via stimulated Raman transition of the atoms in Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) interacting with two light beams, including a weaker squeezed coherent probe light and a stronger classical pump light. The results show that the quantum fluctuation of this atom laser can be periodically squeezed. The squeezing depth of such atom laser is determined by the initial squeezing factor of the probe light, and the squeezing period of that is related to the mean number of atoms in the trap, the strength of interaction between squeezing light and BEC atoms, and the detuning of the light.

One-dimensional atom laser in microgravity

Using coupled Gross-Pitaevksii (GP) equations, we simulate the output of one-dimensional pulsed atom laser in space station. We get two atom laser pulses propagating in opposite directions with one pulsed RF coupling. Compared with atom laser under gravity, the laser pulse in microgravity shows much slower moving speed, which is suitable to be used for long-term investigations. We also simulate the output flux at different coupling strengths.     

Space continuous atom laser in one dimension

Cold atom physics in space station arouses a lot of interest of scientists. We investigate the dynamical output process of the space continuous atom laser by solving nonlinear Gross-Pitaevksii equations numerically. Slow-moving continuous atom beams in two directions are observed simultaneously. The slow-moving coherent atom beams can be used as a source of atom interferometer to realize long-time measurements. We also control the output of space atom laser by adjusting the output coupling strength.     

非线性Rosen-Zener跃迁

研究了非线性两模系统的Rosen-Zener跃迁.在绝热近似下，对基态能相同的两个模态，非线性相互作用使原子表现出强烈的集体行为，它们总是趋向于聚集到同一个模态上.因此外场的绝热调制能够把原子从一种模式彻底转移到另一种模式上.在经典相空间中，可以成功地解释该现象.提议利用现有的玻色爱因斯坦凝聚实验观测这一效应. 关键词： Bose-Einstein凝聚 Rosen-Zener跃迁 Rabi振荡 受激Raman绝热暗通道     

Effect of polarization on population transfer in H2 by stimulated Raman transition with partially overlapping laser pulses

Polarization effects on population transfer by stimulated Raman transition using overlapping time dependent pump and Stokes laser pulses from the ground X ¹Σ _g ^/+ (v _g=0, J _g=1) level of H₂ to the final X ¹Σ _g ^/+ (v _f=1, J _f=1) level via the intermediate B ¹Σ _u ^/+ (v _i=14, J _i=0,2), C ¹Π _u ^/+ (v _i=3, J _i=2) and C ¹Π _u ^/− (v _i=3, J _i=1) levels have been theoretically investigated by applying the density matrix formalism. We have studied in detail the dependence of the population transfer on time delay between two pulses for the cases of on-resonance excitations considering linear parallel and same-sense circular polarizations of the fields. The pump and Stokes fields are taken as having Gaussian pulse shapes with peak intensities I _P ^/0 (I _S ^/0 )=2 × 10⁶ and 1 × 10⁷ W/cm². Density matrix equations have been solved for each value of the magnetic quantum number M _g(0, ±1) of the initial ground level taking into account the M _g dependence of the Rabi frequencies. M _g — averaged population transfer to the final level has also been calculated. For resonance excitations to the B(14, 0) or C(3, 1) levels, appreciable population transfer is achieved for intuitive pulse order for some particular values of M _g and M _i (magnetic quantum number of the resonant intermediate level) depending on the nature of polarizations. The calculated values of M _g — averaged population transfer for the two cases of polarizations show that for on-resonance excitation to the B(14, 0) or the C(3, 1) level, linear parallel polarization of the laser fields yield more transfer efficiency whereas for resonance excitation to the B(14, 2) level, larger population transfer results from the same-sense circular polarizations. For resonance excitation to the C(3, 2) level, M _g — averaged population is found to be almost polarization independent. The calculations for the six-level H₂ system reveal some interesting features of polarization effects on the population transfer efficiency.     

Spectral characteristic study of Raman transition interaction in optically pumped FIR laser

The spectral characteristic of an optically pumped NH3 molecules FIR laser has been studied by a F-P interferometer and a Michelson interferometer. It was verified that when NH3 molecules were pumped by CO2-9R(16) line, a emission by Raman transitions of two photons was produced. When the gas pressure of NH3 increased, the interaction of the Raman transitions rose, then the emission was enhanced and the width of spectral lines were broadened. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations.Authors gratifully acknowledge to Mrs. Chen Baoqiong and Prof. Qiu Bingsheng for their technical assistance and helpful discussions.
