Optical Dipole Trapping beyond Rotating Wave Approximation: The case of Large Detuning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the inclusion of counter-rotating terms, usually dropped in evaluations of interaction of an electric dipole of a two level atom with the electromagnetic field, leads to significant modifications of trapping potential in the case of large detuning. The results are shown to be in excellent numerical agreement with recent experimental findings, for the case of modes of Laguerre-Gauss spatial profile.

Elimination of optical self-focusing by population trapping.
It is well known that intense laser beams, when tuned near to a resonance, will often break up into an unpredictable distribution of hot spots and filaments. This beam breakup and filament formation is initiated by self-focusing, which, in turn, is caused by the intensitydependent refractive index [1]. In this Letter we show experimental results that demonstrate, at least for the near-ideal con...
متن کاملTransferring cold atoms in double magneto-optical trap by a continuous-wave transfer laser beam with large red detuning.
A novel scheme of transferring cold atoms in a double magneto-optical trap (MOT) system has been experimentally demonstrated. Cold cesium atoms trapped in a vapor-cell MOT are efficiently transferred to an ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) MOT by a continuous-wave divergent Gaussian transfer laser beam. When large red detuning and moderate intensity are adopted for the transfer laser beam, enhancement of ...
متن کاملTheory of an optical dipole trap for cold atoms
The theory of an atom dipole trap composed of a focused, far red-detuned, trapping laser beam, and a pair of red-detuned, counterpropagating, cooling beams is developed for the simplest realistic multilevel dipole interaction scheme based on a model of a ~315!-level atom. The description of atomic motion in the trap is based on the quantum kinetic equations for the atomic density matrix and the...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Optical Properties and Peak Behavior Due to Plasmon Resonance of Silver Cubic-Shape Nanostructures by Means of Discrete Dipole Approximation
In this article, the optical properties of silver cubic-shape nanostructures (SCNs) were analyzed by employing the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) in aqueous media. The absorption, dispersion and extinction cross-sections of these nanostructures were calculated based on the wavelength change of the incident light in the visible and near infrared region. Moreover, the height change, waveleng...
متن کاملQubit-oscillator dynamics in the dispersive regime: Analytical theory beyond the rotating-wave approximation
We generalize the dispersive theory of the Jaynes-Cummings model beyond the frequently employed rotating-wave approximation RWA in the coupling between the two-level system and the resonator. For a detuning sufficiently larger than the qubit-oscillator coupling, we diagonalize the non-RWA Hamiltonian and discuss the differences to the known RWA results. Our results extend the regime in which di...
