VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION FOR LASER COOLED ATOMS IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL SIGMA(+)-SIGMA(-)-CONFIGURATION

We report on fully quantum calculations of the momentum distribution of atoms cooled in the sigma +- sigma - configuration. These distributions have sharp quantum features at integer multiples of the photon momentum h(cross)k, similar to those which have been observed experimentally using linearly p...

description We report on fully quantum calculations of the momentum distribution of atoms cooled in the sigma +- sigma - configuration. These distributions have sharp quantum features at integer multiples of the photon momentum h(cross)k, similar to those which have been observed experimentally using linearly polarized light by Doery et al (1994). They explained their observation in terms of the band structure of the atoms in the light field which is a different point of view to that which we present here. © 1994 IOP Publishing Ltd.
