An extra-heating mechanism in Doppler-cooling experiments
Thierry Chaneliere, Jean-Louis Meunier, Robin Kaiser +2
In this paper we experimentally and theoretically investigate laser cooling of Strontium 88 atoms in one dimensional optical molasses. In our case, since the optical cooling dipole…
Coherent Backscattering with Nonlinear Atomic Scatterers
T. Wellens, B. Gremaud, D. Delande +1
We study coherent backscattering of a quasi-monochromatic laser by a dilute gas of cold two-level atoms. We consider the perturbative regime of weak intensities, where nonlinear ef…
Coherent backscattering of light by atoms in the saturated regime
T. Wellens, B. Gremaud, D. Delande +1
We present the first calculation of coherent backscattering with inelastic scattering by saturated atoms. We consider the scattering of a quasi-monochromatic laser pulse by two dis…
Magnetic Field Enhanced Coherence Length in Cold Atomic Gases
Olivier Sigwarth, Guillaume Labeyrie, Thibaut Jonckheere +3
We study the effect of an external magnetic field on coherent backscattering of light from a cool rubidium vapor. We observe that the backscattering enhancement factor can be {\it…
