Purely optical macroscopic trap for alkaline-earth and similar atoms
O. N. Prudnikov, V. I. Yudin, R. Ya. Ilenkov +1
We consider a laser cooling and trapping of alkaline-earth and similar atoms in a bichromatic field resonant to a closed optical transition or $^1S_0 \to \, ^3…
Quantum theory of magneto-optical trap
O. N. Prudnikov, A. V. Taichenachev, V. I. Yudin +2
We present a quantum theory of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) from first principles based on the quantum kinetic equation for the atomic density matrix with taking into account the r…
An effective model for describing coherent population trapping resonances, which correctly takes into account the off-resonant frequency components in periodically modulated laser field
V. I. Yudin, M. Yu. Basalaev, A. V. Taichenachev +1
We have developed an effective mathematical model to calculate the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance in periodically modulated light, when the modulation frequency v…
Theory of composite Ramsey sequences of radiofrequency pulses beyond the rotating wave approximation
V. I. Yudin, O. N. Prudnikov, A. V. Taichenachev +3
We develop a theory of composite Ramsey sequences of rf pulses interacting with the Zeeman structure at the long-lived atomic level, beyond the rotating wave approximation. Such se…
Engineering quantum control with twisted-light fields induced optical transitions
T. Zanon-Willette, F. Impens, E. Arimondo +3
A novel form of quantum control is proposed by applying twisted-light also known as optical vortex beams to drive ultra-narrow atomic transitions in neutral Ca, Mg, Yb, Sr, Hg and…
Dissipative pure-optical trap for laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms
O. N. Prudnikov, R. Ya. Ilenkov, A. V. Taichenachev +2
We show the possibility of implementing a deep dissipative optical lattice for neutral atoms with a macroscopic period. The depth of the lattice can reach magnitudes comparable to…
