An Atom Trap Relying on Optical Pumping
P. Bouyer, P. Lemonde, M. Ben Dahan +3
We have investigated a new radiation pressure trap which relies on optical pumping and does not require any magnetic field. It employs six circularly polarized divergent beams and…

Measurement of the radiative and non-radiative decay rates of single CdSe nanocrystals through controlled modification of their spontaneous emission
X. Brokmann, L. Coolen, Maxime Dahan +1
We present a simple method to measure the radiative and non-radiative recombination rates of individual fluorescent emitters at room temperature. By placing a single molecule succe…
