| 1. | Doppler cooling involves light with frequency tuned slightly below an electronic transition in an atom.
|
| 2. | Doppler cooling is also used in spectroscopy and metrology, where cooling allows narrower spectroscopic features.
|
| 3. | For example, all of the best atomic clock technologies involve Doppler cooling at some point.
|
| 4. | Subsequently, the resolved sideband cooling is used to cool the atoms beyond the Doppler cooling limit.
|
| 5. | This can help to cool the atoms to a lower temperature than the normal doppler cooling limit.
|
| 6. | In Doppler cooling, the frequency of light is tuned slightly below an electronic transition in the atom.
|
| 7. | This, along with Doppler cooling was the crucial technology needed to achieve the celebrated Bose Einstein condensation.
|
| 8. | This, along with Doppler cooling, was the crucial technology needed to achieve the celebrated Bose Einstein condensation.
|
| 9. | One of the major technical challenges in Doppler cooling was increasing the amount of time an atom can interact with the laser light.
|
| 10. | A Zeeman Slower uses a spatially varying magnetic field to maintain the relative energy spacing of the atomic transitions involved in Doppler cooling.
