铷离子-铷原子混合阱飞行时间谱的拟合和仿真模拟

离子-原子混合阱是研究带电粒子-中性粒子低温反应的理想平台,直接甄别反应产物最准确的方法是带电粒子飞行时间谱,飞行时间谱峰的强度、位置(飞行时间)和宽度给出了相应带电粒子的强度和动能(温度)等信息.本文通过分析和模拟铷离子-原子混合阱中的飞行时间谱,获得了不同荷质比的离子绝对强度和温度等信息.具体说,首先使用Gumbel型极值分布函数飞行时间谱的谱峰,获得谱峰强度、位置和宽度等信息.然后对实验建模得到耦合的原子数和总带点离子的速率方程,用这些速率方程拟合实验数据,并结合实验测量到的绝对原子数,获得绝对的离子数强度.由此提供了一种标定探测器(本文使用的是微通道板)的方法.改变电离激光的波长和强度得到的标定因子是一致的,表明了这种方法的可靠性.此外,利用COMSOL Multiphysics模拟实验的飞行时间谱,仿真模拟结果表明离子动能大,谱峰宽度窄.本文对飞行时间谱的强度和宽度分析为冷原子光电离过程的离子-原子反应碰撞和带电粒子温度弛豫奠定了基础.     

Analytical solutions for a doubly driven two-level atom

We have deduced analytical solutions of an energy level diagram of the doubly driven/dressed atom for a two-level atom exposed to a strong near-resonant bichromatic laser field in a special case, i.e., the bichromatic field with frequencies ω1 and ω2, and Rabi frequencies ?1 and ?2, in which the first coupling field of ?1 acts on the bare atomic levels, and then the resulting singly dressed states are driven by the second coupling field of ?2, thus resulting in the doubly dressed atom.We have measured the probe absorption spectra of a doubly driven two-level atom. The system consists of 52S1/2, F= 2 and 5~2P_(3/2), F'= 3 states of ~(87)Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap(MOT) as well as the cooling/trapping beams and an additional coupling field. As for the spectroscopic properties of the doubly driven two-level atom, theoretical analytical solutions are in general agreement with the experimental spectrum as a whole.     

基于冷里德堡原子电磁感应透明的微波电场测量

在磁光阱中利用冷原子温度低,多普勒展宽小的优势获得了窄线宽的里德堡电磁感应透明(EIT)谱峰,结合Autler-Townes分裂效应(EIT-AT分裂)分别测量了多个频率的微波电场强度.结果显示,EIT-AT分裂间距与微波电场强度呈很好的线性关系,EIT-AT分裂方法可测量的微波电场强度线性区的下限可达222μV/cm,这个下限比传统热原子蒸汽池中EIT-AT分裂线性区的下限5 mV/cm提高了大约22倍,这对极弱微波电场的绝对校准非常有帮助.我们进一步利用EIT共振处探测光透过率的变化测量微波电场强度,对应的最小测量值可以小于1μV/cm,相应的灵敏度可达到1μV·cm^-1.Hz^-1/2.这些结果展示了冷原子样品在微波电场测量及其绝对校准方面的优势.     

An all-optical phase detector by amplitude modulation of the local field in a Rydberg atom-based mixer

Recently, a Rydberg atom-based mixer was developed to measure the phase of a radio frequency (RF) field. The phase of the signal RF (SIG RF) field is down-converted directly to the phase of a beat signal created by the presence of a local RF (LO RF) field. In this study, we propose that the Rydberg atom-based mixer can be converted to an all-optical phase detector by amplitude modulation (AM) of the LO RF field; that is, the phase of the SIG RF field is related to both the amplitude and phase of the beat signal. When the AM frequency of the LO RF field is the same as the frequency of the beat signal, the beat signal will further interfere with the AM of the LO RF field inside the atom, and then the amplitude of the beat signal is related to the phase of the SIG RF field. The amplitude of the beat signal and the phase of the SIG RF field show a linear relationship within the range of 0 to π/2 when the phase of the AM is set with a difference π/4 from the phase of the LO RF field. The minimum phase resolution can be as small as 0.6° by optimizing the experimental conditions according to a simple theoretical model. This study will expand and contribute to the development of RF measurement devices based on Rydberg atoms.

Ultra-High Efficiency Magnetic Transport of SZRb Atoms in a Single Chamber Bose-Einstein Condensation Apparatus

We report the ultra-high efficiency transport of cold ST Ftb atoms using a moving magnetic quadrupole potential generated by three overlapping pairs of fixed coils. The transfer etticiency is better than 97%, which is the highest ever reported to our knowledge. The temperature increase due to heating is less than IO #K when the initial cloud temperature is llO#K. Our setup is similar to the magnetic transferring belt design [Phys. ftev. A 63 （2001）031401（R）], although it is simpler because the push coil is not required. We use it to transport atoms away from a magneto-optical trap to very close to the wall of the glass cell, facilitating future experiments employing three-dimensional optical lattices, high resolution in-situ imaging, and magnetic Feshbach resonances.

Relativistic Multichannel Treatment of Ionic Rydberg States of Lanthanum

Ionic Rydberg energy levels of lanthanum are calculated from first principles by relativistic multichannel theory within the framework of multichannel quantum defect theory. The present calculated results are in better agreement with the experimental measurements than the previous calculations [J. Phys. B 34 （2001）369] due to the consideration of dynamical polarizations. Moreover, in the experimental spectra achieved by a five-laser resonance excitation via the intermediate state 5d6d^3 F2, a series of weak ionic Rydberg states and some of perturbing states are found and assigned in this work.
