Introduction to Light Forces, Atom Cooling, and Atom Trapping

Abstract

This paper introduces and reviews light forces, atom cooling, and atom trapping. The emphasis is on the physics of the basic processes. In discussing conservative forces the semiclassical dressed states are used rather than the usual quantised-field dressed states.

Atom Cooling and Trapping

Ray LaPierre

In recent decades, it has become possible to trap individual atoms and ions. These methods enable the interaction of light with a cloud of atoms or even with individual atoms. There are three general methods that are widely used to trap atoms or ions: radiation pressure, magnetic dipole forces, and electric dipole forces. In this chapter, the major trapping and cooling techniques are reviewed with an emphasis on the basic physical principles.

Detailed numerical simulations of laser cooling processes

We developed a detailed semiclassical numerical code of the forces applied on atoms in optical and magnetic fields to increase the understanding of the different roles that light, atomic collisions, background pressure, and number of particles play in experiments with laser cooled and trapped atoms.

Laser cooling and trapping of atoms

H. Metcalf, P. van der Straten

A review is presented of some of the principal techniques of laser cooling and trapping that have been developed during the past 20 years. Its approach is primarily experimental, but its quantitative descriptions are consistent in notation with most of the theoretical literature. It begins with a simplified introduction to optical forces on atoms, including both cooling and trapping. Then its three main sections discuss its three selected features, (1) quantization of atomic motion, (2) effects of the multilevel structure of atoms, and (3) the effects of polychromatic light. Each of these features is an expansion in a different direction from the simplest model of a classical, two-level atom moving in a monochromatic laser field.

Laser cooling and trapping

Stig Stenholm

The basic physical effects leading to radiation-induced forces are reviewed. A simple derivation of the mathematical expressions for the classical light forces is given. The influence of quantum fluctuations is demonstrated and the possibilities for trapping neutral particles are discussed. Two recent successful laser cooling and trapping experiments are described to illustrate the applications of the basic principles.

Electromagnetic trapping of cold atoms

V. I. Balykin, Vladimir G. Minogin, Vladilen S Letokhov

This review describes the methods of trapping cold atoms in electromagnetic fields and in the combined electromagnetic and gravity fields. We discuss first the basic types of the dipole radiation forces used for cooling and trapping atoms in the laser fields. We outline next the fundamentals of the laser cooling of atoms and classify the temperature limits for basic laser cooling processes. The main body of the review is devoted to discussion of atom traps based on the dipole radiation forces, dipole magnetic forces, combined dipole radiation-magnetic forces, and the forces combined of the dipole radiation-magnetic and gravity forces. Physical fundamentals of atom traps operating as waveguides and cavities for cold atoms are also considered. The review ends with the applications of cold and trapped atoms in atomic, molecular and optical physics.
