Abstract:
It has been more than 30 years since the first demonstration of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) using sodium atoms. Since then the MOT has revolutionised the field of atomic physics by facilitating the emergence of a broad range of productive avenues of research using atoms prepared at low temperatures and high densities. This thesis describes the development of a novel kind of magneto-optical trap: the blue-detuned MOT. Unlike in all previous MOTs the light is blue detuned from atomic resonances and drives "type-II" transitions that have dark ground-state sub-levels. A discussion of the position

Abstract:
We Rydberg dress a magneto-optical trap of strontium atoms, mixing Rydberg character into atoms as they are cooled and confined. A recently developed tunable high-power narrow-linewidth 319 nm laser is used to excite and characterise triplet Rydberg states in strontium. Off-resonantly dressing a cloud of atoms in a narrow-line MOT operating on the 5s2 1S0 - 5s5p 3P1 transition, we observe a one-body AC Stark shift on the cloud, which we characterise to identify a regime in which only Rydberg dressed atoms are trapped in the MOT. In this cloud the Rydberg dressed atoms are both trapped and cool

Abstract:
Laser cooling and trapping in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) have been essential to the success of cold atom physics in the last decades. Recently, the application of the same techniques to molecules has begun. The complexity of even a simple diatomic molecule makes laser cooling difficult, but promises new applications in many areas of research. In this thesis I describe the development of the first three-dimensional MOT of calcium fluoride (CaF) molecules. First, a cryogenic buffer gas source was set up, producing a pulsed beam of 9.3*10^10 molecules per steradian per pulse with forward veloci

Abstract:
This thesis describes the design and construction of a new magneto optical trap that is suitable for use in integrated atom chips and other vacuum systems in which optical access is limited to a single window. The trap design relies on the switching of optical and magnetic fields and can operate at frequencies at least within the region of 1 kHz to 60 kHz. The design does not need patterned surfaces in order to generate the necessary beam geometry, requiring only the use of a single, standard mirror. Early temperature measurements have indicated that the trap may be capable of sub-Doppler cool

Casimir and Casimir-Polder effects are forces between electrically neutral bodies and particles in vacuum, arising entirely from quantum fluctuations.

We present a novel method of in situ magnetic field mapping related to the Hanle effect. This method uses the change in spatial radiation pattern of scattered light, which we call a 'directional Hanle effect,' rather than the loss of polarization more commonly associated with the Hanle effect. It is particularly well suited for fields in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), requiring only the addition of a narrow slit and a camera to typical MOT components. The use of this method is demonstrated by measuring the gradient through, and location of, the zero-point of the field in our strontium MOT.

Abstract:
Neste trabalho, mostramos que é possível suprimir a maioria dos processos inelásticos que podem causar perdas de átomos em armadilhas magneto-ópticas. Nossos resultados revelam que o processo de blindagem óptica (demonstrado pelo nosso grupo, pela primeira vez para o processo de ionização fotoassociativa – Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1911 (1994)) é bem mais geral do que se supunha. Permitindo, inclusive, a supressão de colisões entre átomos no estado fundamental. E provavelmente qualquer outro processo inelástico que ocorra a curtas distâncias internucleares. Para se chegar a esses resultados, foi ne

Abstract:
Neste trabalho apresentamos a produção de moléculas frias heteronucleares em uma armadilha magneto-óptica mista de 39K e 85Rb e detectadas no estado fundamental. A técnica de detecção consiste na fotoionização pulsada das moléculas que, após terem sido fotoassociadas, decaem através de emissão espontânea para estados ligados do potencial do estado molecular fundamental. A partir dos resultados da produção de moléculas frias KRb, estudamos-as com relação ao tipo de colisões que as originam, e à temperatura associada ao seu movimento translacional.

This thesis presents an in-depth study into the characterization and enhancement of a metastable neon laser cooled and trapped atomic beam. The apparatus consists of a standard Zeeman slowed atomic beam loaded into a magneto-optical trap and was designed for applications to electron scattering experiments and photoionization. The efficiency of the metastable neon atomic source was investigated to determine the ideal cathode type for maximum metastable production and optimal atomic beam velocity haracteristics.

I present the construction of a low-velocity intense source (LVIS) of laser-cooled neutral strontium using permanent ring magnets. The LVIS consists of a magneto-optical trap from which cold strontium is extracted in a well-collimated beam. I also present the development and implementation of a full suite of low-noise, high-bandwidth laser control electronics including a microcontroller unit. This microcontroller remotely controls and monitors the current driver, temperature controller, and PID lock circuit for each diode laser simultaneously. The current driver output is accurate to within 2

Processos colisionais envolvendo transferência de energia têm sido intensivamente investigados em amostras de átomos de Rydberg frios nos últimos anos. Alguns grupos de pesquisa têm interpretado tais processos utilizando um modelo de muitos corpos; nosso grupo tem explicado tais processos, considerando a interação de dois corpos em um potencial de ultralongo alcance e o movimento sob a ação de um potencial. Nesta tese nós investigamos tais processos de colisão envolvendo átomos de Rydberg frios, produzidos em uma armadilha magneto-óptica. A investigação da evolução temporal de estados de Rydbe

Neste trabalho estudamos o processo de foto-ionização associativa(PAI) em uma amostra fria de átomos de sódio com o objetivo entender os efeitos dos estados repulsivos e dimensão da colisão. Realizamos experimentos de PAI com duas cores em uma armadilha magneto-óptica adicionando um feixe de prova com intensidade, frequências e polarização ajustáveis. O formato dos átomos aprisionados também foi uma das variáveis no estudo da PAI. Para os átomos em formação esférica, observamos uma mudança marcante no comportamento da constante de taxa de formação da foto-ionização associativa(K) para um deter
