High-Precision Two-Dimensional Atom Localization in a Cascade-Type Atomic System

Abstract

We investigate the behavior of two-dimensional (2D) atom localization in a three-level cascade-type atomic system via measuring the probe absorption. It is found that the precision of the atom localization can be improved by adjusting probe detuning and coupling a coherent coupling field and standing-wave fields to the same atomic transition. Remarkably, a single localization peak can be obtained by adjusting appropriate system parameters, and some corresponding explanations are also given.

Three-dimensional atom localization via probe absorption in a cascade four-level atomic system

Wei Zeng, Li Deng, Aixi Chen

Abstract For an atomic system with cascade four-level type, a useful scheme about three-dimensional (3D) atom localization is proposed. In our scheme the atomic system is coherently controlled by using a radio-frequency field to couple with two-folded levels under the condition of the existence of probe absorption. Our results show that detecting precision of 3D atom localization may be obviously improved by properly adjusting the frequency detuning and strength of the radio-frequency driving field. So our scheme could be helpful to realize 3D atom localization with high-efficiency and high-precision . In the field of laser cooling or the atom nano-lithography, our studies provide potential applications.

High-precision three-dimensional atom localization in a microwave-driven atomic system

Yushan Mao, Jianchun Wu

We demonstrate the behavior of three-dimensional (3D) atom localization in a four-level Y-type atomic system driven by a microwave field. The position information of the atom can be obtained by measuring the position-dependent probe absorption when the atom interacts with three orthogonal standing-wave fields. It is found that the precision of the atom localization depends sensitively on the probe detuning and the strength of the microwave field. Remarkably, the localization precision can be significantly improved by increasing the amplitude of the microwave field, and the localization position will be changed by adjusting the relative phase between the standing-wave, microwave, and control fields.

Precision in two-and three-dimensional atom localization via detuning and phase shifts using four-level tripod atomic system

Abdul Wahab, Akhtar Munir

The high-precision position measurement scheme of a single atom in two-dimensions and three-dimensions is investigated in a four-level tripod-type system. The atom interacts with the two orthogonal standing wave fields (OSWFs) and three OSWFs for two- and three-dimensional (2D, 3D) atom localization. The high-precision position of the atom is observed by adjusting the suitable system parameters. We achieve a high-precision single localized peak in the 2D plane and a single localized sphere smaller than the cubic optical wavelength in 3D volume space. We also see the impact of the Doppler shift on atom localization in 2D and 3D. We show that the Doppler shift dramatically deteriorates the precision of spatial information. The proposed high-precision atom localization scheme has applications in laser cooling and Bose–Einstein condensation phenomena.

High-precision two-dimensional atom localization via probe absorption in an M-scheme atomic system

Jianchun Wu, Zhengdong Liu, Jun Zheng

In the present paper, we investigate the behavior of two-dimensional atom localization in a five-level M-scheme atomic system driven by two orthogonal standing-wave fields. We find that the precision and resolution of the atom localization depends on the probe field detuning significantly. And because of the effect of the microwave field, an atom can be located at a particular position via adjusting the system parameters.

Proposal for efficient two-dimensional atom localization using probe absorption in a microwave-driven four-level atomic system

Chunling Ding, Jiahua Li, Xiaoxue Yang +2 more

The behavior of two-dimensional (2D) atom localization is explored by monitoring the probe absorption in a microwave-driven four-level atomic medium under the action of two orthogonal standing-wave fields. Because of the position-dependent atom-field interaction, the information about the position of the atom can be obtained via the absorption measurement of the weak probe field. It is found that the localization behavior is significantly improved due to the joint quantum interference induced by the standing-wave and microwave-driven fields. Most importantly, the atom can be localized at a particular position and the maximal probability of finding the atom in one period of the standing-wave fields reaches unity by properly adjusting the system parameters. The proposed scheme may provide a promising way to achieve high-precision and high-resolution 2D atom localization.
