Electromagnetic 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 کاملMagnetic trapping of cold bromine atoms.
Magnetic trapping of bromine atoms at temperatures in the millikelvin regime is demonstrated for the first time. The atoms are produced by photodissociation of Br2 molecules in a molecular beam. The lab-frame velocity of Br atoms is controlled by the wavelength and polarization of the photodissociation laser. Careful selection of the wavelength results in one of the pair of atoms having suffici...
متن کاملA polarisation spectrometer locked diode laser for trapping cold atoms
We have modelled and used polarisation spectroscopy to lock a very compact, high-performance extended cavity diode 85 Ž X . laser system to the Rb Fs3 to F s4 transition. The laser has a linewidth of 135 kHz. Using this system we have trapped and cooled 1.5=10 Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Atoms remained continuously trapped in the MOT for several minutes. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All...
متن کاملMagnetoelectrostatic trapping of ground state OH molecules.
We report magnetic confinement of neutral, ground state OH at a density of approximately 3 x 10(3) cm(-3) and temperature of approximately 30 mK. An adjustable electric field sufficiently large to polarize the OH is superimposed on the trap in various geometries, making an overall potential arising from both Zeeman and Stark effects. An effective molecular Hamiltonian is constructed, with Monte...
متن کاملProducing translationally cold, ground-state CO molecules.
Carbon monoxide molecules in their electronic, vibrational, and rotational ground state are highly attractive for trapping experiments. The optical or ac electric traps that can be envisioned for these molecules will be very shallow, however, with depths in the sub-milliKelvin range. Here, we outline that the required samples of translationally cold CO (X(1)Σ(+), v'' = 0, N'' = 0) molecules can...
