Abstract

ABSTRACT The dark magneto-optical lattice for atoms with a J —p J — transition is considered. The periodic potentialis formed using a r+ y laser field and a uniform magnetic field orthogonal to the light waves propagation. The dynamics of slowly moving atoms is investigated for J = 1 in the quasiclassical approximation. Thecases of a weak and strong dark states destruction by the magnetic field are analyzed. The sub-Dopplercooling for a blue detuning from resonance is demonstrated for a low laser field power. The dark atomiclattice creation in the case of the light induced shift is much less than the Zeeman splitting is predicted.Keywords: atomic cooling, dark state, dark atomic lattice. 1. INTRODUCTION Optical and magneto-optical atomic lattices present a unique object, where atoms can be cooled to themicrokelvin range and localized within the sub-wave length size. Such samples of cold atoms are of agreat importance for investigation of quantum statistical effects, cold atoms collisions and high resolution
