Coherent population trapping in light-induced drift

Abstract

Light-induced drift (LID) is a transport phenomenon in a gas mixture with dramatic manifestations such as the optical piston1 and applications in atomic isotope separation.2 The induced drift velocity is proportional to the excited state fraction, and for Na in Xe high drift velocities have been achieved using two lasers.3 Here one laser excites atoms from one hyperfine ground state and the second laser atoms from the other, avoiding hyperfine pumping. Excited in this way, the Na atom represents a Λ type three-level system, where coherent effects can be important.
