Journal ArticleDOI
Trapping of neutral sodium atoms with radiation pressure
TL;DR: The confinement and cooling of an optically dense cloud of neutral sodium atoms by radiation pressure was reported, provided by three retroreflected laser beams propagating along orthogonal axes, with a weak magnetic field used to distinguish between the beams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental observation of optically trapped atoms.
TL;DR: The first observation of optically trapped atoms is reported, with estimates that about 500 atoms are confined in a volume of about ${10}^{3}$ \ensuremath{\mu}$ m3 at a density of about £10^{11}$-${10]^{12}$ and in good quantitative agreement with theoretical expectations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional viscous confinement and cooling of atoms by resonance radiation pressure
TL;DR: The confinement and cooling of atoms with laser light is reported, in which the atoms are localized in a 0.2 cm volume for a time in excess of 0.1 second and cooled to a temperature of T = 2.4 × 10−4K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic-density-dependent losses in an optical trap
TL;DR: It is observed that two-body collisions between cold sodium atoms confined within a magnetic-molasses optical trap lead to significant atomic-density-dependent trap losses that set an upper limit to the product of atomic density and confinement time that can be achieved in such a trap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of sodium atoms in a magnetic molasses trap loaded by a continuous uncooled source.
TL;DR: The cross section for collisions in which trapped sodium atoms are ejected from the trap by thermal sodium atoms is measured and it is estimated that the cross section is 30 times larger than for collisions with other background thermal atoms.
