Local laser cooling of Yb:YLF to 110 K.
Minimum achievable temperature of ~110 K is measured in a 5% doped Yb:YLF crystal at λ = 1020 nm, corresponding to E4-E5 resonance of Stark manifold. This measurement is in excellent agreement with the laser cooling model and was made possible by employing a novel and sensitive implementation of differential luminescence thermometry using balanced photo-detectors.
متن کاملLocal dynamics of laser cooling in an optical lattice
Using the basis of Wannier states, we study the local dynamics of polarization gradient cooling for an atom driven on a Jg52→Je53 transition by a one-dimensional optical lattice. This analysis allows us to formulate a physical picture of the cooling mechanism, analogous to Sisyphus cooling for a Jg51/2→Je53/2 atom, which depends strongly on coherences in the Zeeman sublevels of the ground state...
متن کاملLaser cooling to quantum degeneracy.
We report on Bose-Einstein condensation in a gas of strontium atoms, using laser cooling as the only cooling mechanism. The condensate is formed within a sample that is continuously Doppler cooled to below 1 μK on a narrow-linewidth transition. The critical phase-space density for condensation is reached in a central region of the sample, in which atoms are rendered transparent for laser cooli...
متن کاملOnset of dielectric modes at 110 K and 60 K due to local lattice distortions in nonsuperconducting YBa
We report the observation of two dielectric transitions at 110 and 60 K in the microwave response of nonsuperconducting YBa2Cu3O6.0 crystals. The transitions are characterized by a change in polarizability and presence of loss peaks, associated with overdamped dielectric modes. An explanation is presented in terms of changes in polarizability of the apical O atoms in the Ba–O layer, affected by...
متن کاملLaser cooling of solids to cryogenic temperatures
Laser radiation has been used to cool matter ranging from dilute gases to micromechanical oscillators. In Doppler cooling of gases, the translational energy of atoms is lowered through interaction with a laser field1,2. Recently, cooling of a high-density gas through collisional redistribution of radiation has been demonstrated3. In laser cooling of solids, heat is removed through the annihilat...
