<title>Cooling atoms in a far-detuned optical lattice</title>

Abstract: A new method of studying and cooling trapped atoms is discussed, with particular attention to atoms in far detuned, 3-D optical lattices. The technique, projection cooling, uses a combination of microwave and optical fields to cycle atoms between hyperfine sublevels. A single vibrational level will remain dark to both the light and the microwaves, so atoms will accumulate there. Cooling below the photon recoil limit is possible with this technique. As a diagnostic tool it promises to yield detailed information… Show more

“…A potential advantage of state-dependent potentials is that they could enable projection cooling schemes [26,27]. For example, one could drive a rotational transition resonant only with molecules in the motional ground state followed by state-dependent detection to determine whether or not the molecule has made the transition.…”

“…Projection sideband cooling [26], a version of which was recently demonstrated in 1D [27], accomplishes coherent transfer to a lower vibrational level, n, without relying on the momentum of the transferring beam. It requires a state-dependent potential, which we create by rotating the linear polarization of one of a pair of optical lattice beams.…”
