Colloquium: Strong optical forces on atoms in multifrequency light

H Metcalf - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
Optical forces on atoms irradiated with a single frequency of light have been extensively
studied for many years, both theoretically and experimentally. The two-level atom model has …

Cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules by counterpropagating pulse trains

VI Romanenko, YG Udovitskaya, AV Romanenko… - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We discuss a possible one-dimensional trapping and cooling of atoms and molecules due to

Frequency-comb-induced radiative force on cold rubidium atoms

G Kregar, N Šantić, D Aumiler, H Buljan, T Ban - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We experimentally investigate the radiative force and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) in
cold rubidium atoms induced by pulse-train (frequency-comb) excitation. Three …

Atoms in the counter-propagating frequency-modulated waves: splitting, cooling, confinement

VI Romanenko, NV Kornilovska - The European Physical Journal D, 2017 - Springer
We show that the counter-propagating frequency-modulated (FM) waves of the same
intensity can split an orthogonal atomic beam into two beams. We calculate the temperature …

Trapping of atoms by the counter-propagating stochastic light waves

VI Romanenko, LP Yatsenko - Optics Communications, 2017 - Elsevier
We calculate the temperature of the atoms in the field of counter-propagating stochastic light
waves (the chaotic-field model). We show that the temperature of the atomic ensemble …

[PDF][PDF] An optical trap for atoms on the basis of counter-propagating bichromatic light waves

VI Romanenko, AV Romanenko… - Ukrainian journal of …, 2016 - irbis-nbuv.gov.ua
It has been shown that the field of counter-propagating bichromatic light waves can form a
one-dimension trap for atoms. The confinement of an ensemble of atoms in the trap and their …
