Ultrastable CO2 Laser Trapping of Lithium Fermions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an ultrastable CO2 laser trap that provides tight confinement of neutral atoms with negligible optical scattering and minimal laser-noise-induced heating. Using this method, fermionic 6Li atoms are stored in a 0.4 mK deep well with a 1ye trap lifetime of 300 sec, consistent with a background pressure of 10211 Torr. To our knowledge, this is the longest storage time ever achieved with an all-optical trap, comparable to the best reported magnetic traps. [S0031-9007(99)09193-0]

Interactions of Lithium Atoms in a Resonator-Enhanced Dipole Trap
In order to study the interacting quantum gases of lithium atoms, we have developed a novel dipole trap based on the resonant enhancement of a far detuned standing wave in an optical resonator. Light from an ultrastable 2-W Nd:YAG laser is coupled into the resonator and enhanced 130-fold, thus creating a trap depth of ~1 mK for the lithium atoms. It enables us to trap ~10-10 laser-cooled atoms ...
متن کاملMixture of ultracold lithium and cesium atoms in an optical dipole trap
We present the first simultaneous trapping of two different ultracold atomic species in a conservative trap. Lithium and cesium atoms are stored in an optical dipole trap formed by the focus of a CO2 laser. Techniques for loading both species of atoms are discussed and observations of elastic and inelastic collisions between the two species are presented. A model for sympathetic cooling of two ...
متن کاملFrequency stability of a wavelength meter and applications to laser frequency stabilization.
Interferometric wavelength meters have attained frequency resolutions down to the megahertz range. In particular, Fizeau interferometers, which have no moving parts, are becoming a popular tool for laser characterization and stabilization. In this paper, we characterize such a wavelength meter using an ultrastable laser in terms of relative frequency instability σ(y)(τ) and demonstrate that it ...
متن کاملThe effect of surface treatment with a fractional carbon dioxide laser on shear bond strength of resin cement to a lithium disilicate-based ceramic
BACKGROUND This study investigated the impact of different surface treatments, including fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser on shear bond strength (SBS) of resin cement to lithium disilicate ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 72 blocks of IPS e.max CAD ceramic were randomly divided into six groups in terms of treatment (n = 12). Group 1 underwent etching with 9.6% hydro...
متن کاملA V2O5/conductive-polymer core/shell nanobelt array on three-dimensional graphite foam: a high-rate, ultrastable, and freestanding cathode for lithium-ion batteries.
A thin polymer shell helps V2O5 a lot. Short V2O5 nanobelts are grown directly on 3D graphite foam as a lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathode material. A further coating of a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) thin shell is the key to the high performance. An excellent high-rate capability and ultrastable cycling up to 1000 cycles are demonstrated.
