Doppler cooling a microsphere.
Doppler cooling the center-of-mass motion of an optically levitated microsphere via the velocity-dependent scattering force from narrow whispering gallery mode resonances is described. Light that is red detuned from the whispering gallery mode resonance can be used to damp the center-of-mass motion in a process analogous to the Doppler cooling of atoms. The scattering force is not limited by sa...
متن کاملDoppler cooling of a Coulomb crystal
We study theoretically Doppler laser cooling of a cluster of two-level atoms confined in a linear ion trap. Using several consecutive steps of averaging we derive, from the full quantum-mechanical master equation, an equation for the total mechanical energy of a one-dimensional crystal, defined on a coarse-grained energy scale whose grid size is smaller than the linewidth of the electronic tran...
متن کاملDoppler cooling to the quantum limit.
Doppler cooling on a narrow transition is limited by the noise of single scattering events. It shows novel features, which are in sharp contrast with cooling on a broad transition, such as a non-gaussian momentum distribution, and divergence of its mean square value close to the resonance. We have observed those features using 1D cooling on an intercombination transition in strontium, and compa...

متن کاملFluorescence during Doppler cooling of a single trapped atom
We investigate the temporal dynamics of Doppler cooling of an initially hot single trapped atom in the weak-binding regime using a semiclassical approach. We develop an analytical model for the simplest case of a single vibrational mode for a harmonic trap, and show how this model allows us to estimate the initial energy of the trapped particle by observing the time-dependent fluorescence durin...
