Phase-control of directed diffusion in a symmetric optical lattice
Michele Schiavoni, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Ferruccio Renzoni +1
We demonstrate the phenomenon of directed diffusion in a symmetric periodic potential. This has been realized with cold atoms in a one-dimensional dissipative optical lattice. The…
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…
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…
Atom cooling and trapping by disorder
Peter Horak, Jean-Yves Courtois, Gilbert Grynberg
We demonstrate the possibility of three-dimensional cooling of neutral atoms by illuminating them with two counterpropagating laser beams of mutually orthogonal linear polarization…
