Quantum behavior of laser cooled atoms

  • 1. National Inst. of Standards and Technology (MSEL), Gaithersburg, MD (United States)

Description

This article presents the quantum behavior of laser cooled atoms. When confined in small potential wells, the motion of the atoms, as deduced from the radiated spectrum, is seen to be quantized. The author has transferred eight quanta of photon momentum to laser cooled atoms, in a manner that avoids spontaneous emission and preserves the atomic coherence. (TEC). 14 refs
