Laser cooling is a relatively new technique that has led to insights into the behavior of atoms as well as confirming with striking detail some of the fundamental notions of quantum mechanics, …

2003年5月1日 · 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) …

1998年7月1日 · Phillips, W. D., 1992, "Laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms," in Laser Manipulation of Atoms and Ions (Proceedings of the International School of Physics "Enrico …

Laser cooling thus collects atoms near the origin of velocity space. It is also possible to collect atoms into a small region of ordinary configuration space, and such trapping is discussed in …

2007年7月15日 · This article presents a review of some of the principal techniques of laser cooling and trapping that have been developed during the past 20 years. Its approach is …

Laser cooling and trapping is now an important tool for many spectroscopic studies. It enhances the density of atoms in phase space by many orders of magnitude reducing the need of large …

1997年1月1日 · Current research focuses on improving existing cooling techniques, and the development of cold atoms as a source for applications ranging from atomic clocks to studies …

Laser cooling and trapping is a groundbreaking technique in atomic physics and quantum mechanics that allows scientists to control the motion and temperature of neutral particles, …

By shining laser light onto an assembly of neutral atoms or ions, it is possible to cool and trap these particles. In this chapter we study a simple cooling mechanism, Doppler cooling, and we …

a laser beam tuned to an atomic resonance. After being slowed, the atoms would be captured in a trap consisting of focused laser beams, with the atomic motion being damped until the …
