Sub-Doppler Laser Cooling of Thulium Atoms in a Magneto-optical Trap
D. Sukachev, A. Sokolov, K. Chebakov +4
We have experimentally studied sub-Doppler laser cooling in a magneto-optical trap for thulium atoms working at the wavelength of 410.6\,nm. Without any dedicated molasses period o…
Magneto-Optical Trap for Thulium Atoms
D. Sukachev, A. Sokolov, K. Chebakov +4
Thulium atoms are trapped in a magneto-optical trap using a strong transition at 410 nm with a small branching ratio. We trap up to atoms at a temperature of 0.8(2)…
Zeeman slowing of thulium atoms
K. Chebakov, A. Sokolov, A. Akimov +4
We demonstrate laser slowing of a hot thulium atomic beam using the nearly closed cycling transition $4\textrm{f}^{13}6\textrm{s}^2(^2\textrm{F}^\circ)(J=7/2)\leftrightarrow4\textr…
Blue laser cooling transitions in Tm I
N. Kolachevsky, A. Akimov, I. Tolstikhina +5
We have studied possible candidates for laser cooling transitions in Tm in the spectral region 410 -- 420 nm. By means of saturation absorption spectroscopy we have measure…
