Atom galleries for whispering atoms: binding atoms in stable orbits around an optical resonator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The external fields of optical whispering gallery modes may be used to confine atoms in stable orbits around a dielectric microsphere. As an example, a toroidal dipole-force trap (atom gallery) for three-level atoms is investigated, and the possibility of achieving an atomic (matter–wave) resonator is discussed. The extremely small electromagnetic mode volumes and high Q’s of the whispering gallery modes should permit a circulating photon to be repeatedly absorbed and reemitted by a trapped whispering atom.
