Dynamics of two atoms undergoing light-assisted collisions in an optical microtrap
We study the dynamics of atoms in optical traps when exposed to laser cooling light that induces light-assisted collisions. We experimentally prepare individual atom pairs and observe their evolution. Due to the simplicity of the system (just two atoms in a microtrap) we can directly simulate the pa...

We study the dynamics of atoms in optical traps when exposed to laser cooling light that induces light-assisted collisions. We experimentally prepare individual atom pairs and observe their evolution. Due to the simplicity of the system (just two atoms in a microtrap) we can directly simulate the pair's dynamics, thereby revealing detailed insight into it. We find that often only one of the collision partners gets expelled, similar to when using blue detuned light for inducing the collisions. This enhances schemes for using light-assisted collisions to prepare individual atoms and affects other applications as well. © 2013 American Physical Society. |
