Cavity-Induced Atom Cooling in the Strong Coupling Regime
- 1. Institut fuer Theoretische Physik, Universitaet Innsbruck, Technikerstr.25, A-6020 Innsbruck (Austria)
Description
We investigate the possibility of all optical trapping and cooling a single atom at the antinodes of a high Q optical cavity mode to which the atom is strongly coupled. For properly chosen parameters the dynamics of the cavity field introduces a novel Sisyphus type cooling mechanism yielding final temperatures much below the Doppler limit and allowing for long trapping times, avoiding the problems induced by spontaneous emission. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
