Steady state phonon occupation of EIT cooling: higher order calculations
arXiv:2104.14157 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.104.013117
Abstract
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) cooling has established itself as one of the most widely used cooling schemes for trapped ions during the past twenty years. Compared to its alternatives, EIT cooling possesses important advantages such as a tunable effective linewidth, a very low steady state phonon occupation, and applicability for multiple ions. However, existing analytic expression for the steady state phonon occupation of EIT cooling is limited to the zeroth order of the Lamb-Dicke parameter. Here we extend such calculations and present the explicit expression to the second order of the Lamb-Dicke parameter. We discuss several implications of our refined formula and are able to resolve certain difficulties in existing results.
