A Rydberg-dressed Magneto-Optical Trap
A. D. Bounds, N. C. Jackson, R. K. Hanley +4
We propose and demonstrate the laser cooling and trapping of Rydberg-dressed Sr atoms. By off-resonantly coupling the excited state of a narrow (7 kHz) cooling transition to a high…
Quantitative simulation of a magneto-optical trap operating near the photon recoil limit
Ryan K. Hanley, Paul Huillery, Niamh C. Keegan +3
We present a quantitative model for magneto-optical traps operating on narrow transitions, where the transition linewidth and the recoil shift are comparable. We combine a quantum…
Probing interactions of thermal Sr Rydberg atoms using simultaneous optical and ion detection
Ryan K. Hanley, Alistair D. Bounds, Paul Huillery +5
We demonstrate a method for probing interaction effects in a thermal beam of strontium atoms using simultaneous measurements of Rydberg EIT and spontaneously created ions or electr…
Quasi-forbidden 2-body Förster resonances in cold Cs Rydberg gas
Bruno Pelle, Riccardo Faoro, Juliette Billy +3
Cold Rydberg atoms are known to display dipole-dipole interaction allowed resonances, also called Förster resonances, which lead to an efficient energy transfer when the proper ele…
Van der Waals explosion of cold Rydberg clusters
R. Faoro, C. Simonelli, M. Archimi +6
We report on the direct measurement in real space of the effect of the van der Waals forces between individual Rydberg atoms on their external degrees of freedom. Clusters of Rydbe…
Ultranarrow CPO resonance in a Λ-type atomic system
T. Lauprêtre, S. Kumar, P. Berger +4
It is well known that ultranarrow electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonances can be observed in atomic gases at room temperature. We report here the experimental obs…
