Abstract

We study the two-level atom interaction with bichromatic field to understand the entropy flow during this interaction in the absence of spontaneous emission. This flow is characterized by the Carnot cycle that demonstrates efficient cooling.

We present a restricted number state basis that permits to analyze simply most aspects of bichromatic atomic cooling, and discuss the mechanism of entropy transfer from the atoms to the field during the cooling process.

Laser Cooling Without Spontaneous Emission Using the Bichromatic Force

Christopher Corder, Brian Arnold, Hua Xiang +1 more

It is widely believed that spontaneous emission (SE) is necessary to remove entropy from an atomic sample during laser cooling. In fact, SE is needed for energy removal when laser cooling is done with single-frequency light, but with more than one frequency, both energy and entropy can be removed using only stimulated processes. Our experimental demonstration of this phenomenon works by restricting the atom–light interaction to a time short compared to a cycle of absorption followed by natural decay [Phys. Rev. Lett.114, 043002 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.114.043002]. We present here additional information on these results, in particular, simulations of the motion of atoms under the bichromatic force that compare well with our data. This accomplishment is of interest to direct laser cooling of molecules or in experiments where working space or time is limited.
