LASER COOLING OF ATOMS AND ITS APPLICATION IN FREQUENCY STANDARDS

Vladilen S Letokhov, Vladimir G. Minogin

The results of studies into the laser cooling of atoms have been summarized and the possibilities of application of cold atoms in frequency standards have been considered. It has been shown that the optical frequency standard on the basis of laser-cooled atoms Mg, Ca or Sr may have the long-term stability of about 10-15.

Atom interferometry with ultracold Mg atoms: frequency standard and quantum sensors

А. В. Тайченачев, Andrei Goncharov, A E Bonert +5 more

Abstract The results of theoretical and experimental studies aimed at the creation of matter wave interferometers with Mg atoms are presented. Atom-optical interferometers based on the Ramsey-Bordé scheme are of great interest for the development of optical frequency standards. Ultracold Mg atoms are promising for the development of an optical frequency standard with relative uncertainty and long-term frequency instability at a level of 10−17 − 10−18. A long-term frequency stability of 3·10−15 is obtained at an averaging time τ = 103 s while stabilizing the frequency of a ‘clock’ laser at 457 nm (1 S 0 → 3 P 1 transition) to narrow Ramsey-Bordé resonances of Mg atoms cooled and localized in a magneto-optical trap. The measured frequency stability is determined by the stability of the measurement system based on an optical frequency comb stabilized to the optical frequency of a Yb:YAG/I2 standard. We also present the results of theoretical studies aimed at the use of Mg atom interferometers based on Bragg diffraction for quantum sensing.

Optical pumping and laser cooling of magnesium atomic beam in metastable states

Weiquan Cai, N. Beverini, S. Del Tredici +4 more

Here we report some initial results in the study of optical pumping and laser cooling of metastable Mg atomic beam. Eighty-five percent of optical pumping efficiency and laser cooling effect have been observed. We have successfully used frequency doubled diode laser in the experiments as a velocity analysis light source because diode laser is important for making a practical magnesium frequency standard.
