Magneto-optical trapping forces for atoms and molecules with complex level structures
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of molecules typically involves multiple transitions driven by several laser frequencies. We analyze how magneto-optical trapping forces depend on the angular momenta, F _l and F _u , and the g -factors, g _l ...

Optomechanical coupling between ultracold atoms and a membrane oscillator [PDF]
, 2014 In this thesis, I report on the realization of a hybrid optomechanical system in which ultracold atoms are coupled to a micromechanical membrane. The atoms are trapped in the intensity maxima of an optical standing wave formed by retroreflection of a ...
