Heating and phase-space decompression of evanescent-wave cooled atoms by multiple photon reabsorption.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that multiple reabsorption of resonance-frequency photons in a cloud of evanescent-wave cooled atoms can have a significant influence on the cooling efficiency and maximum value of the atomic phase-space density.

Compression of atomic phase space using an asymmetric one-way barrier.
We show how to construct asymmetric optical barriers for atoms. These barriers can be used to compress phase-space of a sample by creating a confined region in space where atoms can accumulate with heating at the single photon recoil level. We illustrate our method with a simple two-level model and then show how it can be applied to more realistic multilevel atoms.
متن کاملTrapping and Manipulation of Laser-Cooled Metastable Argon Atoms at a Surface
This thesis discusses experiments on the all-optical trapping and manipulation of lasercooled metastable argon atoms at a surface. A magneto-optical surface trap (MOST) has been realized and studied. This novel hybrid trap combines a magneto-optical trap at a metallic surface with an optical evanescent-wave atom mirror. It allows laser-cooling and trapping of atoms in contact with an evanescent...
متن کاملA state-insensitive, compensated nanofiber trap
Laser trapping and interfacing of laser-cooled atoms in an optical fiber network is an important tool for quantum information science. Following the pioneering work of Balykin et al (2004 Phys. Rev. A 70 011401) and Vetsch et al (2010 Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 203603), we propose a robust method for trapping single cesium atoms with a two-color state-insensitive evanescent wave around a dielectric n...
متن کاملEffects of diffusion and surface interactions on the line shape of electron paramagnetic resonances in the presence of a magnetic field gradient
In an evanescent wave magnetometer the Zeeman polarization is probed at micrometer to submicrometer distances from the cell surface. The electron paramagnetic resonance lines of an evanescent wave magnetometer in the presence of a magnetic field gradient exhibit edge enhancement seen previously in nuclear magnetic resonance lines. We present a theoretical model that describes quantitatively the...
متن کاملThermoelastic Vibration of Temperature-Dependent Nanobeams Due to Rectified Sine Wave Heating—A State Space Approach
In this study, the second type of Green and Naghdi's thermoelasticity theory is applied to present the vibration of a nanobeam subjected to rectified sine wave heating based upon the nonlocal thermoelasticity theory. Both Young's modulus and thermal conductivity are considered to be linear functions of the temperature. The Laplace transform domain is adopted to solve the governing partial diffe...
