Optical pressure on atoms in a field of counterpropagating amplitude- and frequency-modulated waves which are in resonance with an atomic transition

A theoretical investigation is made of the force acting on a two-level atom under conditions of saturation in the field of counterpropagating amplitude- and frequency-modulated waves of different intensities, which are in resonance with an atomic transition. It is shown that the resultant induced optical pressure (due to preferential absorption of light of one of the waves and subsequent stimulated emission in the form of the other wave) depends linearly on the correlation function of the amplitude of the field of one of the waves and on the rate of change of the amplitude of the other wave, and also on the correlation function of the phase of one of the waves and the rate of change of the phase of the other wave at the point where the atom is located.

Stimulated radiation pressure acting on an atom nonadiabatically interacting with the field of counterpropagating frequency-modulated waves

V. I. Romanenko, Леонід Петрович Яценко

The stimulated radiation pressure acting on an atom nonadiabatically interacting with the field of counterpropagating frequency-modulated waves is shown to reach high values typical for the rapid adiabatic passage of the instantaneous frequency of the field of the counterpropagating waves through resonance with an atomic transition. Under the appropriate choice of interaction parameters, the radiation pressure changes insignificantly in a wide range of atomic velocities.

Stimulated light pressure on atoms and molecules in amplitude modulated counterpropagating waves

The light pressure that results from the transfer of a momentum hk/2π to an atomic particle in the resonant scattering of photons has been studied thoroughly and is widely used to control the motion of atoms, to reduce their kinetic energy, corresponding to temperatures in the range below 1 mK and to reach in future the ultimate frequency standard. For a traveling plane wave the momentum of an atom can be changed significantly only if the interaction of the atom with a laser field can be made cyclic. This is possible if there is a transition from a ground (or metastable) state to a short lived level that decays spontaneously to the lower state. For this case the maximum force is determined by the rate 2γ of the spontaneous decay and is given by Fmax = hkγ/ 2π.
