Optical Clocks with Cold Atoms and Stable Lasers*
The performance and prospects for neutral-atom optical frequency standards are discussed based on our recent progress with a calcium optical frequency star~dard. Second stage narrow-line cooling to microkelvin (and even 300 nK) temperatures, combined with launched atoms, should reduce Doppler frequency errors to about 1x10 1 6 . Advanced femtosecond optical frequency combs allow direct comparis...
متن کاملStochastic cooling of atoms using lasers
We propose a method to laser-cool atoms based on stochastic cooling, first developed at CERN to cool antiprotons. Fluctuations in the momentum distribution will be detected in a pump-probe configuration with far-detuned lasers, and the appropriate correction kick will be accomplished with optical dipole potentials. Each stage of an iterative cooling process will involve measurement and feedback...
متن کاملSynchrotron Radiation/lasers and Doubly-excited Atoms
This report highlights a series of joint theoretical and experimental collaborations which started over ten years ago in Taiwan. The recent topic program Synchrotron Radiation and Multiply-excited Atoms, sponsored by the National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS) at Tsinghua University in Hsinchu and organized by K. T. Chung and C. S. Hsu, o®ers an excellent opportunity for many of us to w...
متن کاملLasers, Cold Atoms and Atomic Clocks: Realizing the Second Today
The time is the physical quantity that mankind could measure with the best accuracy, thanks to the properties of the atomic physics, as the present definition of time is based on atomic energy transitions. This short review gives some basic information on the heart of the measurement of time in the contemporary world, i.e. the atomic clocks, and some trends related.
متن کاملExtracting atoms from molecular electron densities via integral equations.
The observation that a molecular electron density is close to the superposition of its constituent atoms leads naturally to the idea of modeling a density by a sum of nuclear-centered, spherically symmetric functions. The functions that are optimal in a least-squares sense are known as Stewart atoms. Previous attempts to construct Stewart atoms by expanding them in an auxiliary basis have been ...
