Jun Umezu, Fujio Shimizu

Open full text 4 citations

Abstract

Cooling of an atomic beam by Doppler tuning is proposed. The atomic beam is decelerated by repeatedly crossing a resonant laser beam at a decreasing angle. An example of the experimental configuration to slow down a two-level atomic beam by a factor of 20 using two lasers is given.
