Engineering the sub-Doppler force in magneto-optical traps

چکیده
Current dual-frequency magneto-optical traps for ultracold molecules are plagued by sub-Doppler heating effects, making them vastly inferior to standard atomic MOTs. Here we demonstrate theoretically that the effects in such a MOT can be engineered provide cooling instead of heating. We give an intuitive picture how achieve and show trapping force results 16 level optical Bloch equations case CaF molecules. From three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations estimate temperature density our $40 \mu K$ $4 \times 10^8 cm^{-3}$ respectively molecule number $10^5$.

Sub-Doppler cooling of neutral atoms in a grating magneto-optical trap
The grating magneto-optical trap (GMOT) requires only one beam and three planar diffraction gratings to form a cloud of cold atoms above the plane of the diffractors. Despite the complicated polarization arrangement, we demonstrate sub-Doppler cooling of 87Rb atoms to a temperature of 7.6 0.6 μK through amultistage, far-detunedGMOT in conjunction with optical molasses. A decomposition of the el...
متن کاملAtomic 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 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 کاملSub-Doppler bandwidth atomic optical filter.
We demonstrate what is to our knowledge the first atomic optical filter that uses velocity selection to achieve a passband width that is less than the Doppler width of the filtering transition. A narrow-linewidth pump laser is used to induce circular birefringence in a narrow velocity class of atoms in a dense potassium vapor for 694-nm light resonant with the 4P(3/2)-6S(1/2) transition. The fi...
متن کاملA strong magneto-optical force exerted on neutral atoms
We report the theoretical prediction and the observation of a stimulated novel magneto-optical radiation force, acting on atoms located in a static magnetic field and irradiated by the resonant field of two counterpropagating monochromatic laser beams with different directions of polarization.
