Theoretical Analyses and Experimental Demonstration of Coherent Splitting of Atomic Wave Packet

Abstract

A new method of realizing coherent split of atomic wave packet has been presented in this paper. Due to using Doppler effect and stimulated Raman transition, it Can be applied directly in thermal atomic beam and only needs a single-frequency standing wave laser field. Theoretical analyses show that of both atoms and light field meet some conditions, atomic wave packet will be split coherently after interaction. Finally,the experiment of the atomic beam splitter by using this method is described. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical predication.

Coherent atomic-beam splitter under multizone Raman excitation in the field of standing waves

An efficient atomic-beam splitter on the basis of interaction of the wave packet of a three-level atom with the field of standing light waves having the relative spatial shift ϕ = π/2 is studied. It is shown that, when several zones of interaction with the field of optical radiation are used, a splitting equal to 2 n ℏ k ( n is the number of zones of interaction) in each of the lower states of the three-level Λ atom can be reached.

Coherent atomic beam splitter control for nano-scale atom wave packet lithography

Sergey Borisenok, Yu. Rozhdestvensky

Atomic beam splitter needs for the practical realization of nano-scale lithography by coherent scattering of the atoms. We consider the different types of atomic beam splitters, which could be used for the creation of the space structures with nano-scale period. We concentrate to a few main schemes of an interaction between an atom beam and optical radiation, which can produce a large angle splitting of atom beam into only two main momentum components: multi Bragg scattering an atom wave packet in standing wave; coherent splitting by scattering of an atom wave packet in standing wave with modulated intensity, when the intensity of the standing wave changes harmonically. We discuss also the experimental possibility of an atom selection in internal states for obtaining of space periodical structure with high clearance.

THEORETICAL ANALYSES OF A DOPPLER TYPE ATOMIC INTERFEROMETER

Xinye Xu, Yuzhu Wang, 中国科学院上海光学精密机械研究所量子光学(联合)开放研究实验室

Based on the analyses of a moving three-level atom interacting slantingly with a standing wave laser field, two kinds of atomic interferometries are designed. The coherent splitting, deflection, combination and free propagating of the atomic waves in the two atomic interferometers are studied in detail.The results show that the interference effects resulting from interaction between different internal states of the atom will occur when some conditions are met by both the atom and the light field. Finally, we have analysed theoretically how to realize and demonstrate the-atomic interferometry by using the two methods.

Coherent beam splitter for atoms based on a bichromatic standing light wave

Rudolf Grimm, Yu. B. Ovchinnikov, Johannes Söding

We propose a new coherent atomic beam splitter that is based on the induced redistribution of photons in the intense field of two collinear standing waves with different frequencies. In the dressed-atom approach, we show that this scheme can provide a clear large-angle splitting into two components without being restricted to the Raman-Nath regime.

Multi-zone coherent atomic beam splitter control by raman transitions

Sergey Borisenok, Yu. Rozhdestvensky, Yu.D. Selishchev

Control in multi-zone atomic beam splitters needs for the practical realization of nanoscale lithography by coherent scattering of the atoms. We propose an effective atomic beam splitter based on the interaction of three-level atom with the field of the standing optical waves having relative spatial shifts. It is shown, that using of several interaction zones of the standing waves having the different spatial shift it make possible to reach the splitting 2n/spl planck/k (where n is the number of zone) in each of lower three-level /spl Lambda/-atom state.

Diffraction of the wave packet of a three-level Λ atom in the field of a multifrequency standing light wave

Anatoly S. Pazgalev, Yu. V. Rozhdestvenskiǐ

The diffraction of the wave packet of a three-level atom in a multifrequency optical radiation field is studied. A new type of coherent beam splitter for atoms that employs the scattering of a wave packet in the field of four standing light waves with different spatial shifts is proposed on this basis. It is shown that this interaction scheme makes it possible to obtain large splittings (>100ℏ k ) of the wave packet of a three-level Λ atom in momentum space into only two coherent components. In addition, the atoms in these coherent components are in long-lived atomic states, which substantially simplifies the experimental implementation of such a splitter.
