Limits of the adiabaticity assumption and conditions for improving laser focusing of atomic matter wave

Abstract

The adiabaticity assumption (AA) and the resulting concept of optical potential in the context of atom focusing with lasers were examined numerically for various experimentally controllable laser parameters. The Schrödinger equations for the atomic center-of-mass dynamics in a laser field were calculated using with or without the AA, and the results were compared. The validity of the AA was tested over a wide range of the Rabi frequency to detuning ratios and the optical potential depths. From the analysis, several specific guidelines were provided on choosing laser parameters that sustain the validity of the AA and improve atom focusing outcomes.

“…[1][2][3][4] To meet the growing demand for high-performance materials in the laser industry, numerous NLO materials have been developed from various systems. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Among these, borates, a rapidly expanding class of compounds in solid-state chemistry, exhibit unique structures that give rise to diverse properties. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] From a chemical viewpoint, boron can bond with two, three, or four oxygen atoms to form linear BO 2 , planar BO 3 , or tetrahedral BO 4 building blocks, respectively, via sp, sp 2 , and sp 3 hybridization.…”
