Deep macroscopic pure-optical potential for laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms

Прудников Олег Николаевич, R. Ya. Ilenkov, A. V. Taǐchenachev +2 more

It is possible to trap neutral atoms in optical lattices without using magnetic fields, but it is currently difficult to achieve deep trapping potentials in such systems. Here, the authors propose using bichromatic light to induce an optical rectification effect that results in a strong spatial force variance and therefore deep dissipative potentials, demonstrating that such lattices could replace magneto-optical traps in neutral atom cooling and trapping applications.

Cooling and trapping of atoms by resonance radiation pressure

Arthur Ashkin, J. P. Gordon

The combined use of trapping and cooling laser beams for optical trapping and cooling of neutral atoms by the forces of resonance radiation pressure is examined. Calculations show that atoms can be held in traps as deep as 10(-4) eV at temperatures of ~10(-3) K, close to the minimum set by quantum fluctuations. Spatial confinement of atoms to a region a fraction of a wavelength in length should be possible.
