Embodiment approach

[0040] (4) According to figure 1 Build a magneto-optical trap optical path arrangement unit, wherein the cooling light in the z direction from 40 to 41 can be replaced or can be any of the following combinations (the first cooling laser is represented by L1, and the second cooling laser is represented by L2) : (a) (L2)+(L2); (b) (L1L2)+(L2); (c) (L1L2)+(L1L2); (d) (L1)+(L1L2); (e) (L1 )+(L2). In addition, the optical path arrangement corresponding to the x, y, and z axes can be exchanged arbitrarily to meet the requirements of different experimental parameters. In the case of insufficient power of the second cooling laser, an appropriate optical path arrangement can also be selected to achieve cooling. The variation of the peak fluorescence signal of the atomic group with the two-photon detuning under different combinations is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

Abstract

The invention relates to laser cooling and trapping of ladder-type energy level alkaline metal atoms by means of laser of two wavelengths, particularly relates to a magneto-optical trap method and a magneto-optical trap device for cooling and trapping atoms by utilizing a laser device with two wavelengths at an atom storage band and an optical communication band. The magneto-optical trap method comprises the steps of: constructing an atom vacuum chamber provided with light-transmitting quartz windows; constructing a magnetic field part of a magneto-optical trap; constructing a light path part of laser operating in a ground state and a middle excited state of alkaline metal atoms; and constructing a atomic fluorescence detection part composed of a charge-coupled device camera. According to the magneto-optical trap device, the atoms can be directly cooled and captured from the atom vacuum chamber at room temperature, the magneto-optical trap device can be used for cooling and trapping the alkaline metal atoms by means of laser with the atom storage band and the optical communication band, and can be applied to application research of a cooling mechanism for multiphoton cooling atoms and a quantum repeater based on four-wave mixing.
