Manipulation of Atoms by Laser Light

Wolfgang A. Ertmer

Laser cooling and laser manipulation of free neutral atoms have reached a level of sophistication not foreseen just a few years ago. This concerns trapping of neutral atoms at μK temperatures as well as the precise preparation of extreme dense and ultra cold atomic beams. These techniques offer plenty of new experiments answering basic physical questions or allowing totally new levels of precision. The following article will explain, how to prepare such cold beams and it will demonstrate the resulting possibilities for a Ramsey spectrometer at the intercombination line of magnesium. Furthermore first results with this spectrometer set up as magnesium atom interferometer will be presented.

Laser cooling and electromagnetic trapping of neutral atoms

William D. Phillips, John V. Prodan, Harold J. Metcalf

Atoms in a thermal beam can be cooled, decelerated, and stopped using the radiation pressure from a nearly resonant laser beam. Several groups have already used this laser-cooling process on an atomic sodium beam. The techniques and results of the various experimental groups are reviewed, and applications of laser-cooled atoms, in particular the possibility of confining them in electromagnetic traps, are discussed.
