Ground state laser cooling using electromagnetically induced transparency
A laser cooling method for trapped atoms is described which achieves ground state cooling by exploiting quantum interference in a driven Lambda-shaped arrangement of atomic levels. The scheme is technically simpler than existing methods of sideband cooling, yet it can be significantly more efficient, in particular when several motional modes are involved, and it does not impose restrictions on ...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of ground state laser cooling with electromagnetically induced transparency.
Ground state laser cooling of a single trapped Ca(+)on is achieved with a technique which tailors the absorption profile for the cooling laser by exploiting electromagnetically induced transparency. Using the Zeeman structure of the S(1/2) to P(1/2) dipole transition we achieve up to 90% ground state probability. The new method is robust, easy to implement, and proves particularly useful for co...
متن کاملAtom-membrane cooling and entanglement using cavity electromagnetically induced transparency
We investigate a hybrid optomechanical system composed of a micromechanical oscillator as a movable membrane and an atomic three-level ensemble within an optical cavity. We show that a suitably tailored cavity field response via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the atomic medium allows for strong coupling of the membrane’s mechanical oscillations to the collective atomic ground...
متن کاملDark-state polaritons in electromagnetically induced transparency
We identify form-stable coupled excitations of light and matter ("dark-state polaritons") associated with the propagation of quantum fields in electromagnetically induced transparency. The properties of dark-state polaritons such as the group velocity are determined by the mixing angle between light and matter components and can be controlled by an external coherent field as the pulse propagate...
متن کاملElectromagnetically Induced Transparency in 6 Li Electromagnetically Induced Transparency In
We report electromagnetically induced transparency for the D1 and D2 lines in 6 Li in both a vapour cell and an atomic beam. Electromagnetically induced transparency is created using co-propagating mutually coherent laser beams with a frequency difference equal to the hyperfine ground state splitting of 228.2 MHz. The effects of various optical polarization configurations and applied magnetic f...
