3D speckle cooling in a microwave clock

Paul-Éric Pottie, S. Trémine, Stéphane Guérandel +2 more

Sub-Doppler laser cooling is studied in an optically polished microwave cavity used as a reflecting cell. Light potential wells due to the speckle field in the cell make Sisyphus cooling mechanisms possible. For a 1 s capture time, about 10/sup 8/ cesium atoms are cooled at temperatures in the microkelvin range from thermal vapor. These results are discussed and compared with the basic theoretical model involving two laser beams lin /spl perp/ lin polarized. For a microwave clock using such cold atoms, the pulsed operation is precised and the main frequency shifts are evaluated. The short term relative frequency stability is expected to be lower than 10/sup -12//spl tau//sup - 1/2 /.

Demonstration of the microwave trap for cesium atoms

R. J. C. Spreeuw, Christoph Gerz, Lori S. Goldner +5 more

We have demonstrated trapping of neutral cesium atoms by the dipole force in a microwave field, as proposed by Agosta et al. The trap is approximately 100 μK deep and was loaded with laser‐cooled cesium atoms. The trap lifetime of about 1 s was probably limited by collisions with background gas. The microwave trap holds promise for reaching the conditions for Bose‐Einstein condensation in atomic hydrogen or the alkalis.
