Production of a cold atomic vapor using diode-laser cooling

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have used the light from diode lasers (λ = 852 nm) to damp the motion of atoms in a cesium vapor. We have been able to contain more than 107 atoms for 0.2 sec and cool them to a temperature of 10030+100μK in this viscous photon medium (the so-called optical molasses).
