With a coupling laser locked to caesium 6S1/2 Fg=4-6P3/2 Fe=5 cycling transition and a co-propagating probe laser scanned across 6S1/2 Fg=4-6Pa/2 Fe=3, 4 and 5 transitions, a novel scheme for sub-Doppler spectra in Dopplerbroadened V-type three-level system is demonstrated by detecting the transmission of the coupling laser through a caesium vapour cell. The Autler-Townes doublet in the sub-Doppler spectra of the coupling laser is clearly observed. The effects of coupling laser intensity on the splitting and linewidth of the Autler-Townes doublet are experimentally investigated and the results agree well with theoretical predictions. Taking the multiple hyperfine levels of caesium atom into account, a brief analysis is presented.
Optical dipole trap(ODT)is becoming an important tool of manipulating neu-tral atoms.In this paper ODT is realized with a far-off resonant laser beam strongly fo-cused in the magneto-optical trap(MOT)of cesium atoms.The light shift is measured by simply monitoring the fluorescence of the atoms in the magneto-optical trap and the opti-cal dipole trap simultaneously.The advantages of our experimental scheme are discussed,and the effect of the beam waist and power on the potential of dipole trap as well as heating rate is analyzed.
