Transverse laser cooling of a velocity-selected sodium atomic beam
The transverse velocity distribution of a sodium atomic beam, laser cooled in one dimension, has been measured with sub-recoil resolution. A velocity-selective detection system was employed to separate the longitudinal and transverse velocity components to provide a direct measure of the transverse velocity distribution. The effects of varying the cooling laser intensity and detuning on the der...
متن کاملPhase-space measurement of a beam with a Maxwellian transverse velocity distribution by a finite-width slit
The beam is best represented by its distribution in the transverse phase space. In order to determine the transverse velocity distribution, either a pinhole or a thin slit may be used. The slit, however, is more often preferred in many experiments I4 for two,-dimensional phase-space measurement. A beam produced by a hot thermionic cathode or a beam which has existed in a space for a long period...
متن کاملPrecision frequency measurement of visible intercombination lines of strontium.
We report the direct frequency measurement of the visible 5s(2) 1S0-5s5p 3P1 intercombination line of strontium that is considered a possible candidate for a future optical-frequency standard. The frequency of a cavity-stabilized laser is locked to the saturated fluorescence in a thermal Sr atomic beam and is measured with an optical-frequency comb generator referenced to the SI second through ...
متن کاملA measurement of the transverse velocity of Q2237+0305
Determination of microlensing parameters in the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305 from the statistics of high magnification events will require monitoring for more than 100 years (Wambsganss, Paczynski & Schneider 1990). However we show that the effective transverse velocity of the lensing galaxy can be determined on a more realistic time-scale through consideration of the distribution o...
متن کاملLaser sources for precision spectroscopy on atomic strontium.
We present a new laser setup designed for high-precision spectroscopy on laser cooled atomic strontium. The system, which is entirely based on semiconductor laser sources, delivers 200 mW at 461 nm for cooling and trapping atomic strontium from a thermal source, 4 mW at 497 nm for optical pumping from the metastable P23 state, 12 mW at 689 nm on linewidth less than 1 kHz for second-stage coolin...
