Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of atoms laser cooled below the Doppler limit
Paul D. Lett,Richard N. Watts,Christoph I Westbrook,William D. Phillips,Phillip L. Gould,Harold Metcalf +5 more
TL;DR: This "Doppler cooling limit" results from the minimization of the detuning-dependent temperature at low laser power1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser Deceleration of an Atomic Beam
TL;DR: In this article, the deceleration and velocity bunching of Na atoms in an atomic beam have been observed, caused by absorption of counter-propagating resonant laser light.
Journal ArticleDOI
First observation of magnetically trapped neutral atoms.
TL;DR: Observations d' un refroidissement et d'un piegeage par laser d'atomes Na, confines dans un piege quadripolaire magnetique forme de deux boucles de courant coaxiales, separees et apposees.
Reference EntryDOI
Laser Cooling and Trapping of Neutral Atoms
TL;DR: A review of laser cooling and trapning techniques can be found in this article, where the authors present a review of some of the principal techniques used in the past 20 years, including laser cooling, atom trapping and Bose-Einstein condensation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetostatic trapping fields for neutral atoms
TL;DR: Basic trap configurations are characterized using both the exact expressions for the field, and a multipole polynomial expansion that facilitates studies of symmetry properties and classical or quantum orbits.
