Raman cooling imaging: Detecting single atoms near their ground state of motion
arXiv:1405.6156 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.90.011804
Abstract
We demonstrate imaging of neutral atoms via the light scattered during continuous Raman sideband cooling. We detect single atoms trapped in optical tweezers while maintaining a significant motional ground-state fraction. The techniques presented provide a framework for single-atom resolved imaging of a broad class of atomic species.
