Light-induced atomic desorption for loading a sodium magneto-optical trap
We report studies of photon-stimulated desorption, also known as light-induced atomic desorption, of sodium atoms from a vacuum-cell glass surface used for loading a magneto-optical trap (MOT). Fluorescence detection was used to record the trapped atom number and the desorption rate. We observed a steep wavelength dependence of the desorption process above 2.6 eV photon energy, a result signifi...
متن کاملPossibilities for francium spectroscopy in a light trap
An experimental program is under way to capture neutral francium atoms in a magneto-optic trap. Production and transport of the radioactive Fr atoms near to the trapping region have been tested, with a steady state of 107 atoms. If one hundred atoms are captured from the Maxwel l -Bol tzmann distribution into a magneto-optic trap, this will be a sufficient number for spectroscopy of the unknown...
متن کاملTrapping and Manipulation of Laser-Cooled Metastable Argon Atoms at a Surface
This thesis discusses experiments on the all-optical trapping and manipulation of lasercooled metastable argon atoms at a surface. A magneto-optical surface trap (MOST) has been realized and studied. This novel hybrid trap combines a magneto-optical trap at a metallic surface with an optical evanescent-wave atom mirror. It allows laser-cooling and trapping of atoms in contact with an evanescent...
متن کاملLifetime measurements of the 7D levels of atomic francium
We present lifetime measurements of the 7D3/2 and 7D5/2 levels of Fr. We use a time-correlated singlephoton counting technique on a sample of Fr atoms confined and cooled in a magneto-optical trap. The upper state of the 7P3/2 trapping transition serves as the resonant intermediate level for two-photon excitation of the 7D states. A probe laser provides the second step of the excitation, and we...
متن کاملCommissioning of the Francium Trapping Facility at TRIUMF
We report on the successful commissioning of the Francium Trapping Facility at TRIUMF. Large laser-cooled samples of francium are produced from a francium ion beam delivered by the ISAC radioactive ion beam facility. The ion beam is neutralized on an yttrium foil, which is subsequently heated to transfer the atoms into the magneto-optical trapping region. We have successfully trapped 207Fr, 209...
