Outline



Atom Trap Outcomes



Procedure for Atom Trapping

  • Excite ground-state atoms to an excited state.

  • Use several laser beams to help confine atoms.

  • Apply a magnetic field gradient to help confine atoms.



Considerations for Traps

  • Rate of atom decay from excited to ground states.

  • Hyper-fine splitting of energy levels

  • Doppler shifting of laser frequencies

  • Polarizations of laser beams and of the magnetic field



Trap Apparatus

  • Optics, including laser, mirrors, and wave plates

  • Laser control systems

  • Anti-Helmholtz magnet coils

  • Vacuum system

  • Trap Detector





Uses for Atom Trapping

  • High-resolution spectroscopy

  • Collision studies

  • Bose-Einstein Condensation

  • Atom Optics
