Doppler cooling to the Quantum limit
Maryvonne Chalony, Anders Kastberg, Bruce Klappauf +1
Doppler cooling on a narrow transition is limited by the noise of single scattering events. It shows novel features, which are in sharp contrast with cooling on a broad transition,…
Observation of quantum diffractive collisions using shallow atomic traps
David E. Fagnan, Jicheng Wang, Chenchong Zhu +4
We present measurements and calculations of the trap loss rate for laser cooled Rb atoms confined in either a magneto-optic or a magnetic quadrupole trap when exposed to a room tem…
Light transport in cold atoms: the fate of coherent backscattering in the weak localization regime
D. Wilkowski, Y. Bidel, T. Chaneliere +5
The recent observation of coherent backscattering (CBS) of light by atoms has emphasized the key role of the velocity spread and of the quantum internal structure of the atoms. Fir…
Coherent light transport in a cold Strontium cloud
Y. Bibel, B. Klappauf, J. C. Bernard +5
We study light coherent transport in the weak localization regime using magneto-optically cooled strontium atoms. The coherent backscattering cone is measured in the four polarizat…
