Magnetic field imaging with atomic Rb vapor.
We demonstrate the possibility of dynamic imaging of magnetic fields using electromagnetically induced transparency in an atomic gas. As an experimental demonstration we employ an atomic Rb gas confined in a glass cell to image the transverse magnetic field created by a long straight wire. In this arrangement, which clearly reveals the essential effect, the field of view is about 2 x 2 mm(2) an...
متن کاملMagnetic trapping of a cold Rb-Cs atomic mixture
We present an apparatus for the study of an ultracold gaseous atomic mixture of Cs and Rb. The mixture is prepared using a double magneto-optical trap (MOT) system in which a two-species pyramid MOT acts as a source of cold atoms for a ‘science’ MOT. Measurements of the interspecies trap loss rate coefficients βRbCs and βCsRb in the science MOT are reported. After the initial MOT phase, atoms i...
متن کاملAtomic clocks and coherent population trapping: Experiments for undergraduate laboratories
We demonstrate how to construct and operate a simple and affordable apparatus for producing coherent effects in atomic vapor and for investigating their applications in time-keeping and magnetometery. The apparatus consists of a vertical cavity surface emitting diode laser directly current-modulated using a tunable microwave oscillator to produce multiple optical fields needed for the observati...
متن کاملOptical cooling of atomic hydrogen in a magnetic trap.
We describe the prospects for optical cooling of magnetically trapped atomic hydrogen. We analyze the performance of an optical system currently under development in our laboratory and present calculations for the optical cooling rate. We conclude that by using optical techniques hydrogen can be cooled to below 10 mK while the density is simultaneously boosted to approximately 1014 cm. The same...
متن کاملMagnetic trapping of hydrogen after multistage Zeeman deceleration.
We report the first experimental realization of magnetic trapping of a sample of cold radicals following multistage Zeeman deceleration of a pulsed supersonic beam. H atoms seeded in a supersonic expansion of Kr have been decelerated from an initial velocity of 520 m/s to 100 m/s in a 12-stage Zeeman decelerator and loaded into a magnetic quadrupole trap by rapidly switching the fields of the t...
