Search for deviations from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for a gas at an interface
Petko Todorov, João Carlos de Aquino Carvalho, Isabelle Maurin +2
The isotropic Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) velocity distribution is the accepted standard for a gas at thermal equilibrium, with the Doppler width considered to deliver a very precise m…
Casimir-Polder forces in the presence of thermally excited surface modes
Athanasios Laliotis, Thierry Passerat de Silans, Isabelle Maurin +2
The temperature dependence of the Casimir-Polder interaction addresses fundamental issues for understanding vacuum and thermal fluctuations. It is highly sensitive to surface waves…
Experimental observations of temperature effects in the near-field regime of the Casimir-Polder interaction
Thierry Passerat de Silans, Athanasios Laliotis, Isabelle Maurin +4
We investigate the temperature dependence of the Casimir-Polder interaction in the electrostatic limit. This unusual phenomenon relies on the coupling between a virtual atomic tran…
Detection of slow atoms confined in a Cesium vapor cell by spatially separated pump and probe laser beams
Petko Todorov, Nikoolay Petrov, Isabelle Maurin +2
The velocity distribution of atoms in a thermal gas is usually described through a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution of energy, and assumes isotropy. As a consequence, the probability…
Sub-Doppler optical resolution by confining a vapour in a nanostructure
Philippe Ballin, Elias Moufarej, Isabelle Maurin +2
We show that a thermal vapor confined in a nanostructure is of spectroscopic interest. We perform reflection spectroscopy on a Cs vapour cell whose window is covered with a thin op…
Three dimensional confinement of vapor in nanostructures for sub-Doppler optical resolution
Philippe Ballin, Elias Moufarej, Isabelle Maurin +2
We confine a Cs thermal vapor in the interstitial regions of a glass opal. We perform linear reflection spectroscopy on a cell whose window is covered with a thin film (10 or 20 la…
