Dark-hollow-beam cooling of atoms in a gravito-optical trap

Jianping Yin, Yifu Zhu, Yuzhu Wang +1 more

Summary form only given.We present a novel gravito-optical trap (GOT) consisting of a dark hollow-divergent laser beam (DHB) either from a collimated and focused doughnut beam or from the output beam of the LP/sub 01/ mode in a hollow optical fiber. The cold atoms are loaded into the DHB from a magneto-optical trap (MOT). As the atoms bounce in the DHB, they experience Sisyphus cooling and geometrical cooling induced by the blue detuned DHB and a very weak repumping beam propagating downward into the DHB. The coupling of the three-level atom and the DHB forms dressed states.

Generations of dark hollow beams and their applications in laser cooling of atoms and all optical-type Bose-Einstein condensation

Yin Jian-Ping, Gao Wei-Jian, Wang Hai-Feng +2 more

We report on a new experimental result to generate dark hollow beams by using a geometric optical method. We propose two new methods to produce focused and localized hollow laser beams by using π-phase plates. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied the Sisyphus cooling of alkali atoms in pyramidal hollow beam gravito-optical traps. We discuss some potential applications of the dark hollow beams in atom optics and the preparation of an all optically-cooled and optically-trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). Our research shows that an ultracold atomic sample with a temperature of ~2µK can be obtained in the pyramidal hollow beam dipole trap and an all optical-type BEC may be realized in a far blue-detuned, hollow beam trap.
