Light Shift Measurements of Cold Rubidium Atoms using Raman Pump-Probe Spectroscopy

Nathan Souther

We have measured light shifts, also known as the A.C. Stark effect, in cold Rubidium atoms using pump-probe spectroscopy.The measurement was made both for atoms in a magneto optical trap (MOT) and for atoms that were in an optical molasses.We show that while the measured light shifts agree with theory for optical molasses there are additional Zeeman shifts in the MOT that the theory does not account for.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a careful systematic measurement has been performed in cold atoms of light shift as a function of intensity.

An atomic funnel for atom interferometry

David H. McIntyre, Shannon K. Mayer, N.J. Silva

We have developed a rubidium atomic funnel for use as a matter-wave source in experiments in atom interferometry and atom optics. The funnel utilizes the techniques of laser cooling and trapping to produce a low-velocity beam of cold rubidium atoms. Atoms from a thermal beam are first slowed in a tapered magnetic field using 1D Zeeman slowing. The atoms are then loaded into a 2D magneto-optic trap or atomic funnel. The trap cools and compresses the atoms, which are then ejected from the trap by moving molasses formed with frequency-shifted laser beams. These slow atoms will be diffracted by microfabricated transmission gratings as part of a three-grating atom interferometer.
