Two-photon cooling below the Doppler limit in bosonic magnesium

Abstract

Magnesium belongs to the few elements suitable for an optical frequency standard with neutral atoms. It displays very attractive features such as a low black body radiation shift, long-lived states or the existence of a magic wavelength, which is required for a lattice clock. The current optical frequecy standard based on neutral magnesium shows a stability of 8*10−14 in Is and a spectroscopic resolution of 290 Hz [1], which is limited by the atomic sample temperature of 4 mK. These temperatures are obtained in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) based on the strong cooling transition 1S01P1.
