Selective Reflection Spectroscopy at the Interface between a Calcium Fluoride Window and Cs Vapour

Athanasios Laliotis, Isabelle Maurin, Michèle Fichet +5

A special vapour cell has been built, that allows the measurement of the atom-surface van der Waals interaction exerted by a CaF2 window at the interface with Cs vapour. Mechanical…

Selective Reflection Spectroscopy on the UV Third Resonance Line of Cs : Simultaneous Probing of a van der Waals Atom-Surface Interaction Sensitive to Far IR Couplings and of Interatomic Collisions

Pedro Chaves De Souza Segundo, Ismahène Hamdi, Michèle Fichet +2

We report on the analysis of FM selective reflection experiments on the 6S1/2->8P3/2 transition of Cs at 388 nm, and on the measurement of the surface van der Waals interaction exe…

Exploring the van der Waals Atom-Surface attraction in the nanometric range

Michèle Fichet, Gabriel Dutier, Alexander Yarovitski +8

The van der Waals atom-surface attraction, scaling as C3 z-3 for z the atom-surface distance, is expected to be valid in the distance range 1-1000 nm, covering 8-10 orders of magni…

Laser spectroscopy with nanometric gas cells : distance dependence of atom-surface interaction and collisions under confinement

Ismahène Hamdi, Petko Todorov, Alexander Yarovitski +11

The high sensitivity of Laser Spectroscopy has made possible the exploration of atomic resonances in newly designed "nanometric" gas cells, whose local thickness varies from 20nm t…
