Atomic density and temperature distributions in magneto-optical traps
A theoretical investigation into density, pressure, and temperature distributions in magneto-optical traps is presented. After a brief overview of the forces that arise from reradiation and absorption, a condition that the absorptive force be conservative is used to show that, if the temperature is uniform throughout the trap, any density solutions to the force equations will not be physical. F...
متن کاملControlling Magneto-Optical Rotation via Atomic Coherences
An isotropic medium, having magnetic sublevels, when subjected to a magnetic field or an electromagnetic field can induce anisotropy in the medium; and as a result the plane of polarization of the probe field can rotate. Therefore the rotation due to the magnetic field alone, can be controlled efficiently with use of a coherent field. We show, using a control field, significant enhancement of t...
متن کاملSelf-driven nonlinear dynamics in magneto-optical traps
We present a theoretical model describing recently observed collective effects in large magnetooptically trapped atomic ensembles. Based on a kinetic description we develop an efficient test particle method, which in addition to the single atom light pressure accounts for other relevant effects such as laser attenuation and forces due to multiply scattered light with position dependent absorpti...
متن کاملSensitive optical atomic magnetometer based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation
A self-oscillating magnetometer based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation using amplitude-modulated pump light and unmodulated probe light (AM-NMOR) in Rb has been constructed and tested towards a goal of airborne detection of 87 magnetic anomalies. In AM-NMOR, stroboscopic optical pumping via amplitude modulation of the pump beam creates alignment of the ground electronic state of the rubidi...
متن کاملSimultaneous imaging of magnetic field and temperature distributions by magneto optical indicator microscopy
We report a simultaneous imaging method of the temperature and the magnetic field distributions based on the magneto optical indicator microscopy. The present method utilizes an optical indicator composed of a bismuth-substituted yttrium iron garnet thin film, and visualizes the magnetic field and temperature distributions through the magneto-optical effect and the temperature dependent optical...
