Damping rates of the atomic velocity in Sisyphus cooling
Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Michele Schiavoni, Francois-Regis Carminati +2
We present a theoretical and experimental study of the damping process of the atomic velocity in Sisyphus cooling. The relaxation rates of the atomic kinetic temperature are determ…
Rayleigh Scattering and Atomic Dynamics in Dissipative Optical Lattices
Francois-Regis Carminati, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Michele Schiavoni +2
We investigate Rayleigh scattering in dissipative optical lattices. In particular, following recent proposals (S. Guibal {\it et al}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 78}, 4709 (1997); C. Jur…
Dark propagation modes in optical lattices
Michele Schiavoni, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Francois-Regis Carminati +2
We examine the stimulated light scattering onto the propagation modes of a dissipative optical lattice. We show that two different pump-probe configurations may lead to the excitat…
Stochastic resonance in periodic potentials: realization in a dissipative optical lattice
Michele Schiavoni, Francois-Regis Carminati, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia +2
We have observed the phenomenon of stochastic resonance on the Brillouin propagation modes of a dissipative optical lattice. Such a mode has been excited by applying a moving poten…
Brillouin propagation modes in optical lattices: interpretation in terms of nonconventional stochastic resonance
L. Sanchez-Palencia, F. -R. Carminati, M. Schiavoni +2
We report the first direct observation of Brillouin-like propagation modes in a dissipative periodic optical lattice. This has been done by observing, in both theoretical and exper…
Temperature and spatial diffusion of atoms cooled in a 3D linlin bright optical lattice
F. -R. Carminati, M. Schiavoni, L. Sanchez-Palencia +2
We present a detailed experimental study of a three-dimensional linlin bright optical lattice. Measurements of the atomic temperature and spatial diffusion coefficients are…
