Spatial diffusion in a periodic optical lattice: revisiting the Sisyphus effect
Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Peter Horak, Gilbert Grynberg
We numerically study the spatial diffusion of an atomic cloud experiencing Sisyphus cooling in a three-dimensional linlin optical lattice in a broad range of lattice paramete…
Giant light shift of atoms near optical microstructures
Peter Horak, Peter Domokos, Helmut Ritsch
Atoms coupled to optical fields confined in one and two spatial dimensions in solid state microstructures can experience very large light shifts if the driving frequencies are clos…
An optical kaleidoscope using a single atom
P. Horak, H. Ritsch, T. Fischer +4
A new method to track the motion of a single particle in the field of a high-finesse optical resonator is described. It exploits near-degenerate higher-order Gaussian cavity modes,…
Scaling properties of cavity-enhanced atom cooling
Peter Horak, Helmut Ritsch
We extend an earlier semiclassical model to describe the dissipative motion of N atoms coupled to M modes inside a coherently driven high-finesse cavity. The description includes m…
