Dipole force trapping of caesium atoms
A novel dipole force trap was developed for trapping caesium atoms in the lower hyperfine level of the ground state and in preliminary experiments a cloud of ≈1000 atoms was trapped. The viability of the trap is discussed, including suggestions for amendments to the trap design and problems that might occur which are intrinsic to the caesium atom.
متن کاملState-insensitive cooling and trapping of single atoms in an optical cavity.
Single cesium atoms are cooled and trapped inside a small optical cavity by way of a novel far-off-resonance dipole-force trap, with observed lifetimes of 2-3 s. Trapped atoms are observed continuously via transmission of a strongly coupled probe beam, with individual events lasting approximately 1 s. The loss of successive atoms from the trap N>/=3-->2-->1-->0 is thereby monitored in real time...
متن کاملCaesium 6P fine-structure mixing and quenching induced by collisions with ground-state caesium atoms and molecules
Applying the cw laser fluorescence method, the cross sections for the fine structure mixing and quenching of the Cs 6P state, induced by collisions with ground-state caesium atoms and molecules, have been measured. Caesium atoms were optically excited to the 5DJ states via quadrupole-allowed 6S1/2 → 5DJ transitions, while the resonance states were populated by the radiative and collisional 5DJ ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic trapping of cold atoms
This review describes the methods of trapping cold atoms in electromagnetic fields and in the combined electromagnetic and gravity fields. We discuss first the basic types of the dipole radiation forces used for cooling and trapping atoms in the laser fields. We outline next the fundamentals of the laser cooling of atoms and classify the temperature limits for basic laser cooling processes. The...
متن کاملLaser Trapping of Radioactive Atoms
Light forces acting on radioactive atoms confine them in very dense and cold samples achieving large phase space density. We describe the processes of radioactive atom production, reduction of their velocity and capture. The trapped atoms form excellent sources for the study of atomic parity non-conservation, β decay asymmetry, other weak force processes, and α decay asymmetry.
