Cesium Atomic Fountain with Two-Dimensional Moving Molasses

Shinichi Ohshima, Takayuki Kurosu, Takeshi Ikegami +1 more

In this paper we describe a cesium atomic fountain with two-dimensional moving molasses. This method is applicable for multipulse operation of the cesium atomic fountain frequency standard, which will improve the frequency stability and reduce the frequency shift due to spin exchange collisions of atomic fountain frequency standards. Multipulse launching is demonstrated experimentally, and the frequency shift due to the fluorescent light from the loaded atoms is estimated.

Effects of a static magnetic field on sub-Doppler molasses: manipulation of cesium atoms

Jia Yu, Marie-Claude Gagné, Constance Valentin +4 more

An experimental investigation of the effects of magnetic field on cooling and trapping of neutral atoms is presented. Applied to optical molasses, a static magnetic field often produces spectacular effects. It can either induce a sub-Doppler cooling effect or shift a sub-Doppler-cooled atomic sample away from its zero-velocity position. Some of the effects have potential applications in the manipulation of cesium atoms (deflecting an atomic beam or launching an optical molasses into an atomic fountain) and can probably be used in the development of a future cesium atomic frequency standard. The observed experimental effects are interpreted by simple physical models and calculations.>An experimental investigation of the effects of magnetic field on cooling and trapping of neutral atoms is presented.
