Ground state laser cooling using electromagnetically induced transparency
A laser cooling method for trapped atoms is described which achieves ground state cooling by exploiting quantum interference in a driven Lambda-shaped arrangement of atomic levels. The scheme is technically simpler than existing methods of sideband cooling, yet it can be significantly more efficient, in particular when several motional modes are involved, and it does not impose restrictions on ...
متن کاملAtom-membrane cooling and entanglement using cavity electromagnetically induced transparency
We investigate a hybrid optomechanical system composed of a micromechanical oscillator as a movable membrane and an atomic three-level ensemble within an optical cavity. We show that a suitably tailored cavity field response via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the atomic medium allows for strong coupling of the membrane’s mechanical oscillations to the collective atomic ground...
متن کاملTwo-photon and electromagnetically-induced-transparency-assisted Doppler cooling in a three-level cascade system
Laser cooling is theoretically investigated in a cascade three-level scheme, where the excited state of a laser-driven transition is coupled by a second laser to a top, more stable level, as for alkaline-earth-metal atoms. The second laser action modifies the atomic scattering cross section and produces temperatures lower than those reached by Doppler cooling on the lower transition. When multi...
متن کاملElectromagnetically Induced Transparency in 6 Li Electromagnetically Induced Transparency In
We report electromagnetically induced transparency for the D1 and D2 lines in 6 Li in both a vapour cell and an atomic beam. Electromagnetically induced transparency is created using co-propagating mutually coherent laser beams with a frequency difference equal to the hyperfine ground state splitting of 228.2 MHz. The effects of various optical polarization configurations and applied magnetic f...
متن کاملLaser cooling with electromagnetically induced transparency: application to trapped samples of ions or neutral atoms
A novel method of ground-state laser cooling of trapped atoms utilizes the absorption profile of a three(or multi-) level system that is tailored by a quantum interference. With cooling rates comparable to conventional sideband cooling, lower final temperatures may be achieved. The method was experimentally implemented to cool a single Ca+ ion to its vibrational ground state. Since a broad band...
