Radio-frequency spectroscopy of atomic fermi gas

J. J. Kinnunen

This thesis studies radio-frequency spectroscopy of superfluid alkali Fermi gases. Radio-frequency and laser fields provide a coherent and well understood tool for manipulating atomic gases. However, new phenomena are expected and have already been seen experimentally when the alkali atoms become strongly interacting. Here we use a simple perturbative treatment of the atom-rf-field coupling for studying the spectroscopy of a strongly interacting gas. At ultracold temperatures fermionic atoms become paired in analogy to electrons in superconductors. The resulting binding energy, or the pairing gap, can be observed as a shift in the radio-frequency spectrum. With strong interactions, the fermions begin pairing already above the critical superfluid transition temperature. The radio-frequency spectroscopy grants a way to study these fluctuation effects quantitatively. The inhomogeneous trapping potential of the atom cloud also adds its own flavour, resulting in distinct mesoscopic effects in the radio-frequency spectra. Our theoretical models are in very good agreement with the experimental results. First order perturbation theory provides qualitatively correct lineshapes, and our generalised perturbative approach gives quantitatively correct magnitudes for the transfer rates. The inhomogeneity plays an important part also in more exotic systems in which the simple BCS-type pairing of atoms is prevented by polarising the gas. Superfluidity and phase separation in such spin-imbalanced gases has been experimentally observed. We have suggested the use of radio-frequency spectroscopy for observing exotic polarised superfluid states, present at the edges of the atom cloud.

Optical–radio-frequency resonances free from power broadening

Witold Chałupczak, Patrick Josephs-Franks, Szymon Pustelny +1 more

We have demonstrated a new mode of operation of an optical--radio-frequency double-resonance measurement, which allows high-resolution rf spectroscopy with negligible power broadening. The method is based on saturating, resonant excitation, and nonresonant detection of an atomic alignment of alkali-metal atoms by magneto-optical means. Its application to precision measurements, in particular to atomic magnetometry, is discussed.
