Abstract

Numerical studies of large optical forces produced by adiabatic rapid passage on two-level atoms have been extended beyond our previous work and show strong sensitivity to sweep direction and relative optical phase.

Numerical studies of optical forces from adiabatic rapid passage

We present a numerical study of the properties of optical forces on moving atoms derived from purely stimulated processes produced by multiple adiabatic rapid-passage sequences. The optical Bloch equations are solved for a carefully timed sequence of frequency-swept pulses that can produce a force much larger than the ordinary radiative force. We describe the effects of the sweep range, peak intensity, sweep direction, number of pulses, atomic velocity, and spontaneous emission. Since the momentum of thermal atoms is much larger than that transferred by a single absorption-stimulated emission cycle, multiple repetitions are needed to make a significant velocity change.
