Polarization Gradient Cooling by Zeeman-Effect-Assisted Saturated Absorption

Shunli Han, Bing Cheng, Jingfang Zhang +3 more

A novel and simple method to realize polarization gradient cooling (PGC) is reported. The stabilizing, shifting and rapid tuning of the frequency of the external cavity diode laser is realized by using the Zeeman-effect-assisted Doppler-free saturated absorption technique. Based on this convenient technique, 87 Rb cold atoms are captured from room-temperature background vapor in the magneto-optical trap (MOT). Meanwhile, the steady-state number, the density and the lifetime of atoms in the MOT are measured. Subsequently, a frequency-fast-varying circuit is designed to realize PGC, which is demonstrated effectively and reliably in experiments. The temperature of the cold atom cloud is measured by two different methods, which coincide with each other.

Laser-cooled /sup 87/Rb clock

Chad Fertig, Kurt Gibble

We demonstrate a prototype of a laser-cooled /sup 87/Rb fountain clock. We report a preliminary measurement of the frequency shift due to cold collisions and find the shift to be at least a factor of ten less than that in a laser-cooled Cs clock. We also demonstrate the use of the ac Zeeman shift to measure the response of a microwave cavity. Finally, we have demonstrated a juggling atomic fountain and discuss the application of this technique to fountain and microgravity atomic clocks.

Nondestructive light-shift measurements of single atoms in optical dipole traps

Chung-Yu Shih, Michael Chapman

We measure the ac Stark shifts of the $5{S}_{1/2},F=2\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5{P}_{3/2},{F}^{\ensuremath{'}}=3$ transitions of individual optically trapped ${}^{87}$Rb atoms using a nondestructive detection technique that allows us to measure the fluorescent signal of one and the same atom for over 60 s. These measurements allow the efficient and rapid characterization of single-atom traps that is required for many coherent quantum information protocols. Although this method is demonstrated using a single-atom trap, the concept is readily extended to resolvable atomic arrays.
