Abstract:
Transversely loaded bidimensional-magneto-optical-traps (2D-MOTs) have been recently developed as high flux sources for cold strontium atoms to realize a new generation of compact experimental setups. Here, we discuss on the implementation of a cross-polarized bi-color slower for a strontium atomic beam, improving the 2D-MOT loading and increasing the number of atoms up to [Formula: see text] atoms in the 461 nm MOT. Our slowing scheme addresses simultaneously two excited Zeeman substates of the 88Sr 1[Formula: see text]P1 transition at 461 nm. We also realized a three-axis active feedback control of the magnetic field down to the microgauss regime. Such a compensation is performed thanks to a network of eight magnetic field probes arranged in a cuboid configuration around the atomic cold sample and a pair of coils in a quasi-Helmholtz configuration along each of three Cartesian directions. Our active feedback is capable of efficiently suppressing most of the magnetically induced position fluctuations of the 689 nm intercombination-line MOT.

Abstract:
This article discusses self-organization in cold atoms via light-mediated interactions induced by feedback from a single retro-reflecting mirror. Diffractive dephasing between the pump beam and the spontaneous sidebands selects the lattice period. Spontaneous breaking of the rotational and translational symmetry occur in the 2D plane transverse to the pump. We elucidate how diffractive ripples couple sites on the self-induced atomic lattice. The nonlinear phase shift of the atomic cloud imprinted onto the optical beam is the parameter determining coupling strength. The interaction can be tailored to operate either on external degrees of freedom leading to atomic crystallization for thermal atoms and supersolids for a quantum degenerate gas, or on internal degrees of freedom like populations of the excited state or Zeeman sublevels. Using the light polarization degrees of freedom on the Poincaré sphere (helicity and polarization direction), specific irreducible tensor components of the atomic Zeeman states can be coupled leading to spontaneous magnetic ordering of states of dipolar and quadrupolar nature. The requirements for critical interaction strength are compared for the different situations. Connections and extensions to longitudinally pumped cavities, counterpropagating beam schemes and the CARL instability are discussed.

Abstract:
This thesis presents an in-depth study into the characterization and enhancement of a metastable neon laser cooled and trapped atomic beam. The apparatus consists of a standard Zeeman slowed atomic beam loaded into a magneto-optical trap and was designed for applications to electron scattering experiments and photoionization. The efficiency of the metastable neon atomic source was investigated to determine the ideal cathode type for maximum metastable production and optimal atomic beam velocity haracteristics. A series of characterization measurements were performed on the MOT, and the trap volume and population were investigated for a range of trapping and slowing laser intensities and detunings, together with the MOT and Zeeman slower magnetic fields. The volume measurements were compared to standard Doppler theory and it was found that the Doppler model inadequately explained the trap behaviour. It was found that the MOT population characteristics were governed by two processes: two-body losses that limit the trap population at high densities, and the efficiency of the atom capture process which limits the operational range of the MOT over the various parameters. The trap temperature was determined to be 1.3mK via a time-of-flight technique. This was nearly twice that predicted by Doppler theory and the lack of agreement once again suggests the inadequacies in the Doppler theory to correctly model the experiment. The application of the MOT to the photoionization cross-section measurement of the (2p53p)3D3 state of neon was investigated. The MOT decay technique was utilized to measure cross-section values of o351 = 2.9+0.2 -0.3 x 10 -18cm2 and o363 = 3.1 +0.3 -0.4 x 10-18cm2 at the wavelengths of 351nm and 363nm respectively. This is an increase in accuracy of around a factor of five from previous measurements and it was found that the results agreed well with the values predicted by current theories.

Abstract:
Nós demonstramos, pela primeira vez, o resfriamento via laser de um feixe atômico duplo. Ao se carregar um forno a 650oC com uma liga de Li179Na obtêm-se uma destilação efusiva que produz um feixe com fluxos idênticos de Li e de Na. Este feixe formado por duas espécies é desacelerado pela técnica Zeeman utilizando-se dessintonias iguais a Li = -850 MHz e Na = +150 MHz das respectivas transições atômicas 2S1/2 F = 2 2P3/2 F = 3. Em um segundo experimento, mostramos uma nova armadilha magneto-óptica bicromática, em cela de vapor. Obtivemos um incremento de ~10 vezes no número de átomos resfriados utilizando uma armadilha de Na do tipo I circundada por uma armadilha do tipo II, que não se superpõe à primeira. Isto ocorre quando temos o laser de captura a 12 MHz para o vermelho da transição 32S1/2 F = 2 32P3/2 F = 2. Em um terceiro experimento, observamos a primeira armadilha magneto-óptica para alcalinos operando na transição 2S1/2 2P1/2 (linha D1). Para o caso escolhido de átomos de sódio, obtêm-se quatro armadilhas diferentes dentro desta linha D1, contendo de 105 a 107 átomos resfriados. Para duas delas, é necessário inverter-se o sinal das polarizações circulares usuais dos lasers de resfriamento, devido aos desvios Zeeman negativos dos níveis hiperfinos inferiores
We demonstrate, for the first time, a laser cooling of a double atomic beam. By loading an oven at 650oC with a Li179Na alloy we get an effusive distillation producing a beam with equal fluxes of Li and Na. This two-species beam was laser cooled by Zeeman technique with Li = -850 MHz and Na = +150 MHz detunings from the corresponding 2S1/2 F = 2 2P3/2 F = 3 atomic transitions. In a second experiment, we show a new two-color vapor-cell magneto-optical trap. By surrounding type-I Na trap with a non-overlaping type-II trap we achieve a ~10-fold improvement in the number of cooled atoms. This is achieved when the capture laser is detuned 12 MHz to the red of the 32S1/2 F = 2 32P3/2 F = 2 transition. In a third experiment, we observe the first alkaline magneto-optical trap operating on 2S1/2 2P1/2 transition (D1 line). For the choosen sodium atoms, we have four different traps within D1 line, with 105 to 107 cooled atoms. For two of them, one has to revert the usual sign of circular polarizations of the cooling lasers, due to negative Zeeman shift of the lower hyperfine levels

Abstract:
Molecular-physics aspects of cold chemistry are introduced with the example of few-electron molecules. After a brief overview of general aspects of molecular physics, the solution of the molecular Schrödinger equation is presented based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the subsequent evaluation of adiabatic, nonadiabatic, relativistic and radiative (QED) corrections. Low-temperature chemical phenomena are introduced with the example of ion-molecule reactions, using the classical Langevin model for barrier-free exothermic reactions as reference. Then, methods to generate cold few-electron molecules by supersonic-beam-deceleration methods such as Stark, Zeeman, and Rydberg-Stark decelerations are presented. Two astrophysically important reactions, the reaction between H2 and H2+ forming H3+ and H, a very fast reaction following Langevin-capture going over to quantum-Langevin capture at low temperature, and the radiative association reaction H+ + H forming H2+, a very slow reaction in which quantum effects (shape resonances) become important at low temperatures, are used to illustrate the concepts introduced.

Abstract:
We have transversally compressed a monokinetic cesium atomic beam in a 2D MOT1,2 on the F=4→F′=5 transition of the cesium IX, line. The longitudinal cooling was obtained by frequency-chirped diode lasers.3 Preliminary results have been obtained showing a final diameter of about 50pm and a density of 108at./cm3. We have studied the specificities of a multi-V system as the transition F=4→F′=5 in the cesium atom. Originally proposed for a three-level V-type atomic system4, the process can be easily generalized to F→F+1 (F>=1) transitions. In this case, the atom is assumed to be polarized into the Zeeman sub-level Mf=-F with respect to the local magnetic field inside of the trap. For a non-polarized statistic mixture, two effects modify the compression process. The first one is due to the large variation in the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients.3 The second one comes from the difference between the Larmor frequencies associated to the lower and the upper levels. The both effects lead to a mF-dependent restoring force. Efficient compression can be obtained by preparing the atomic population in the “good” Zeeman sub-levels, |MF|=F. Two methods have been explored in our experiments to polarize the atomic beam. The first one used an additional blue-detuned laser beam to increase the atomic population in the |MF|=f Zeeman sub-levels by optical pumping. In the second one, the σ-polarized cooling laser beam orientated the atomic population in the axial direction during the slowing process. This orientation was adiabatically transformed into transversal ones by entering in the trap. Further experiments are in progress.

Full text
Abstract:
We report on the use of a stimulated Raman transition in a slowed atomic beam to produce a narrow velocity distribution of atoms in a selected electronic state, which could be used for atomic collisions studies in the low temperature regime(1). The velocity selection is part of the deceleration process and in this sense it is unique. The atomic beam is decelerated by the radiation pressure force exerted on the atoms by a counter- propagating laser beam. The resonance condition is maintained along the deceleration path because the changing Doppler shift is compensated by Zeeman tuning the electronic sublevels(2) with a spatialy inhomogneous magnetic field. At the end of the slowing process, the initial Maxwell-Boltzman distribution is compressed to a narrow velocity distribution (Δv ~ 50 m/s), centered close to v = 0. This velocity bunching(3) increases considerably the number of atoms in each velocity class, allowing the use of velocity selection techniques as a feasible way of studying low velocity collisions.

Full text
Abstract:
A new method is proposed for laser cooling atoms with Doppler shifts an order of magnitude larger than the homogeneous linewidth of the atomic transition. Two traveling waves cross at a small angle and form standing waves whose wavelength is much longer than that of either traveling wave. This allows one to extend the region in which the laser cooling force is proportional to velocity. The resulting broadband stimulated cooling forces are predicted to stop 0.1% of the flux of a 500-K atomic sodium beam in a distance of 300 μm and a time of a few microseconds. This is more than 100 times faster than current methods. Numerical integration and the method of Gordon and Ashkin have been used to calculate the cooling forces which result when two traveling waves cross at an angle 2a. The stimulated cooling forces are reduced in intensity by sin2a but are proportional to velocity over an interval which is larger by 1/sin a. This allows one to stop a substantial fraction of an atomic beam without chirping the laser or Zeeman tuning the atoms.

Full text
Abstract:
This work is based on previous papers1,2 which analyzed the resonant magnetooptic spectroscopy. These papers presented theoretical expressions for the atomic Voigt effect and the Faraday effect signal intensity. The theory predicts how the analytical detection sensitivity depends on the Zeeman-split resonance line profile and on the polarization state of the incident light beam. To verify the previous analysis we measured the Voigt effect signal profiles of sodium atoms and OH molecules in a chemical flame, using wavelength-scanned narrowband visible and ultraviolet dye lasers. The laser beam passed through the flame, which was placed in the gap of a magnet. The magnetic field was perpendicular to the optical path. The beam passing through the flame was detected with a polarization analyzer. The observed profiles can be interpreted on the basis of the previous theoretical analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
We report an experiment on the observation of Hanle resonances in sinusoidally amplitude modulated, weak, phase diffusing optical fields. The J = 0 to J = 1 transition in an atomic beam of barium was probed with a frequency stabilized dye laser, whose bandwidth and bandshape were precisely controlled with an extra-cavity noise modulation system. Phase sensitive detection of the Hanle fluorescence signal at the amplitude modulation frequency revealed resonances in the in-phase and in-quadrature parts, whose position, shape, and strength were sensitive to the laser bandwidth. These resonances, which were Lorentzian or dispersion shaped or a combination of the two, occurred when the Zeeman splitting of the exited sublevels equaled the modulation frequency for monochromatic light and at splitting of half the modulation frequency for broadband light. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions of Saxena and Agarwal.1
