Attractive optical forces from blackbody radiation.
Blackbody radiation around hot objects induces ac Stark shifts of the energy levels of nearby atoms and molecules. These shifts are roughly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature and induce a force decaying with the third power of the distance from the object. We explicitly calculate the resulting attractive blackbody optical dipole force for ground state hydrogen atoms. Surprising...
متن کاملPrecision calculation of blackbody radiation shifts for optical frequency metrology.
We show that three group IIIB divalent ions, B(+), Al(+), and In(+), have anomalously small blackbody radiation (BBR) shifts of the ns(2) (1)S(0)-nsnp (3)P(0)(o) clock transitions. The fractional BBR shifts for these ions are at least 10 times smaller than those of any other present or proposed optical frequency standards at the same temperature, and are less than 0.3% of the Sr clock shift. We...
متن کاملComputational Blackbody Radiation
Maxwell’s equations represent a culmination of classical mathematical physics by offering a compact mathematical formulation of all of electromagnetics including the propagation of light and radiation, as electromagnetic waves. But like in a Greek tragedy, the success of Maxwell’s equations prepared for the collapse of classical mathematical physics and the rise of modern physics based on a con...
متن کاملOptical pumping of trapped neutral molecules by blackbody radiation.
Optical pumping by blackbody radiation is a feature shared by all polar molecules and fundamentally limits the time that these molecules can be kept in a single quantum state in a trap. To demonstrate and quantify this, we have monitored the optical pumping of electrostatically trapped OH and OD radicals by room-temperature blackbody radiation. Transfer of these molecules to rotationally excite...
متن کاملGeometric effects on blackbody radiation
Planck’s formula for blackbody radiation was formulated subject to the assumption that the radiating body is much larger than the emitted wavelength. We demonstrate that thermal radiation exceeding Planck’s law may occur in a narrow spectral range when the local radius of curvature is comparable with the wavelength of the emitted radiation. Although locally the spectral enhancement may be of se...
