Laser cooling of single trapped atoms to the ground state: a dark state in position space
arXiv:quant-ph/9710034 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.57.2909
Abstract
We propose a scheme that allows to laser cool trapped atoms to the ground state of a one-dimensional confining potential. The scheme is based on the creation of a dark state by designing the laser profile, so that the hottest atoms are coherently pumped to another internal level, and then repumped back. The scheme works beyond the Lamb-Dicke limit. We present results of a full quantum treatment for a one-dimensional model.
