Atom cooling with an atom-optical diode on a ring
arXiv:0801.2448 · doi:10.1088/0953-4075/41/20/205503
Abstract
We propose a method to cool atoms on a ring by combining an atom diode -a laser valve for one-way atomic motion which induces robust internal state excitation- and a trap. We demonstrate numerically that the atom is efficiently slowed down at each diode crossing, and it is finally trapped when its velocity is below the trap threshold.
