Optical control of atom-ion collisions using a Rydberg state

Limei Wang, Markus Deiß, Georg A. Raithel +1 more

Abstract We present a method to control collisions between ultracold neutral atoms in the electronic ground state and trapped ions. During the collision, the neutral atom is resonantly excited by a laser to a low-field-seeking Rydberg state, which is repelled by the ion. As the atom is reflected from the ion, it is de-excited back into its electronic ground level. The efficiency of shielding is analyzed as a function of laser frequency and power, initial atom-ion collision energy, and collision angle. The suitability of several Rydberg levels of Na and Rb for shielding is discussed. Useful applications of shielding include the suppression of unwanted chemical reactions between atoms and ions, a prerequisite for controlled atom-ion interactions.

Stimulated emission in a four-level atom

Constantine Mavroyannis

We have calculated the excitation spectra of a single electron in the excited state of a four-level atom interacting with three laser fields at low intensities, where two of them are on two-photon resonance with the three levels of the atom, while the third laser is a weak one operating between the fourth and excited level of the atom. It is shown that light is switched off at certain frequency due to the coherent population trapping while light is turned on at another frequency, where stimulated emission occurs leading to light amplification without population inversion.
