Optical Bistability and Collective Behavior of Atoms trapped in a High-Q Ring Cavity
Th. Elsaesser, B. Nagorny, A. Hemmerich
We study the collective motion of atoms confined in an optical lattice operating inside a high finesse ring cavity. A simplified theoretical model for the dynamics of the system is…
Collective Atomic Motion in an Optical Lattice formed inside a High Finesse Cavity
B. Nagorny, Th. Elsaesser, A. Hemmerich
We report on collective non-linear dynamics in an optical lattice formed inside a high finesse ring cavity in a so far unexplored regime, where the light shift per photon times the…
Collective Sideband Cooling in an Optical Ring Cavity
Th. Elsaesser, B. Nagorny, A. Hemmerich
We propose a cavity based laser cooling and trapping scheme, providing tight confinement and cooling to very low temperatures, without degradation at high particle densities. A bid…
Cold atoms in a high-Q ring-cavity
D. Kruse, M. Ruder, J. Benhelm +6
We report the confinement of large clouds of ultra-cold 85-Rb atoms in a standing-wave dipole trap formed by the two counter-propagating modes of a high-Q ring-cavity. Studying the…
