Doppler cooling a microsphere.
نویسنده
چکیده
Doppler cooling the center-of-mass motion of an optically levitated microsphere via the velocity-dependent scattering force from narrow whispering gallery mode resonances is described. Light that is red detuned from the whispering gallery mode resonance can be used to damp the center-of-mass motion in a process analogous to the Doppler cooling of atoms. The scattering force is not limited by saturation but can be controlled by the incident power. Cooling times on the order of seconds are calculated for a 20 μm diameter silica microsphere trapped within optical tweezers.

HIGH RESOLUTION LASER SPECTROSCOPY IN COLD SUPERSONIC MOLECULAR BEAMS COOLING, REDUCTION OF DOPPLER WIDTH AND APPLICATION
The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational tem...
متن کاملThree-dimensional cavity Doppler cooling and cavity sideband cooling by coherent scattering
Laser cooling by coherent scattering inside an optical cavity, a method proposed for cooling the motion of arbitrary particles that scatter light, is analyzed in terms of the modified emission spectrum. In contrast to conventional Doppler cooling, this method invokes the two-photon Doppler effect along the direction of the momentum transferred in the scattering process. Three-dimensional coolin...
متن کاملEvaluation of laser-Doppler perfusion imaging for measurement of blood flow in cortical bone.
Most techniques currently available to measure blood flow in bone are time consuming and require destruction of the tissue, but laser-Doppler technology offers a less invasive method. This study assessed the utility of laser-Doppler perfusion imaging (LDI) to measure perfusion in cortical bone. Twelve mature New Zealand White rabbits were assigned to one of three groups: normal control, constri...
متن کاملProspects for Doppler cooling of three-electronic-level molecules
Analogous to the extension of laser cooling techniques from two-level to three-level atoms, Doppler cooling of molecules with an intermediate electronic state is considered. In particular, we use a rate-equation approach to simulate cooling of SiO+, in which population buildup in the intermediate state is prevented by its short lifetime. We determine that Doppler cooling of SiO+ can be accompli...
متن کاملObservation of atoms laser cooled below the Doppler limit.
Laser cooling is the use of laser radiation to reduce the relative motion of a collection of atoms. The most common type of laser cooling is "Doppler cooling" where the Doppler shift causes the radiation pressure force to be velocity dependent, thus damping atomic motion when the laser frequency is tuned below an atomic resonance. Atoms (or ions) cooled by this method have been used in applicat...
