Cooling Atoms with a Moving One-Way Barrier
Elizabeth A. Schoene, Jeremy J. Thorn, Daniel A. Steck
We implement and demonstrate the effectiveness of a cooling scheme using a moving, all-optical, one-way barrier to cool a sample of Rb atoms, achieving nearly a factor of 2…
Dynamics of Cold Atoms Crossing a One-Way Barrier
Jeremy J. Thorn, Elizabeth A. Schoene, Tao Li +1
We implemented an optical one-way potential barrier that allows ultracold Rb atoms to transmit through when incident on one side of the barrier but reflect from the other. T…
Experimental Realization of an Optical One-Way Barrier for Neutral Atoms
Jeremy J. Thorn, Elizabeth A. Schoene, Tao Li +1
We demonstrate an asymmetric optical potential barrier for ultracold 87 Rb atoms using laser light tuned near the D_2 optical transition. Such a one-way barrier, where atoms imping…
