冷原子的无损空间外差成像

Non-destructive spatial heterodyne imaging of cold atoms

S. Kadlecek, J. Sebby, R. Newell, T. G. Walker

摘要:

本文提出了一种对激光冷却原子进行无损成像的新方法。这种空间外差技术通过将强的载波激光束与穿过冷原子云的弱的探测光束干涉来形成相位图像。品质因数等于或超过相位衬度成像的品质因数,并且该技术可以在更宽的空间尺度范围内使用。我们展示了一个暗斑MOT的图像,其成像能量密度低至61 pJ/cm ^2,失谐量为11线宽,导致每个原子散射0.0004个光子。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate a new method for non-destructive imaging of laser-cooled atoms. This spatial heterodyne technique forms a phase image by interfering a strong carrier laser beam with a weak probe beam that passes through the cold atom cloud. The figure of merit equals or exceeds that of phase-contrast imaging, and the technique can be used over a wider range of spatial scales. We show images of a dark spot MOT taken with imaging fluences as low as 61 pJ/cm^2 at a detuning of 11 linewidths, resulting in 0.0004 photons scattered per atom.
