We have investigated the phase shift caused by a static electric field on a beam of Rb atoms carrying alignment (but no orientation) using an all optical technique with spatially separated pump and probe regions. Quantitative measurements of the phase shift agree with theoretical predictions to within 1.4%. An experimental demonstration of the velocity independence of the effect based on time-resolved measurements is given.

We demonstrate the implementation of $Λ$ -enhanced gray molasses cooling on the D $_2$ line of $^{85}$ Rb atoms in an optical tweezer array. This technique yields lower atomic temperatures of 4.0(2) $μ$ K compared to red-detuned polarization gradient cooling, and consequently extends the $T_2^*$ coherence time of the hyperfine clock qubit by a factor of 1.5. The method is alignment-free and can be readily implemented on laser beams used for magneto-optical trapping, as it only requires frequency and phase modulation control. Our experimental observations are corroborated by a numerical model based on a semi-classical force approach extended to a four-level system, including two hyperfine states of the upper manifold that are 120 MHz apart.We demonstrate the implementation of $Λ$-enhanced gray molasses cooling on the D$_2$ line of $^{85}$Rb atoms in an optical tweezer array.
