Focusing of an Atomic Beam and Imaging of Atomic Sources by Means of a Laser Lens Based on Resonance-radiation Pressure

V. I. Balykin, Vladilen S Letokhov, Yu. B. Ovchinnikov +1 more

We propose and realize a laser lens capable of focusing an atomic beam by means of spontaneous-resonance radiation pressure. The focal length, resolution and aberrations of the laser lens are derived. An image from two atomic-beam sources has been obtained and the influence of chromatic aberration investigated.

The coherence and spectra of a Bose condensate generated by an atomic laser

A. V. Kozlovskiĭ

The first-order coherence dynamics of a Bose condensate generated by a cw atomic laser with evaporative cooling is analyzed. For the atomic-laser multimode model, the coherence functions and atomic field spectra are calculated by the master equation technique. Elastic collisions in the trapped atomic gas lead to significant broadening of the atomic laser line, a shift of its center, and a multi peak structure of the spectra. The oscillatory time dynamics of the atomic-field coherence function is studied. For the atomic laser, the free phase diffusion of the field typical of optical lasers, and characterized by monotonically decreasing mean field with a constant mean phase, is absent due to elastic collisions.

Mean-Field Description of Cooperative Scattering by Atomic Clouds

N. Piovella

We present analytic expressions for the scattering of light by an extended atomic cloud. We obtain the solution for the mean-field excitation of different atomic spherical distributions driven by a uniform laser, including the initial build up, the steady state and the decay after the laser is switched off. We show that the mean-field model does not describe subradiant scattering due to the negative interference of the photons scattered by N discrete atoms.
