We have studied basics of laser cooling ytterbium atoms towards the search of the atomic permanent electric dipole moment (EDM). Especially, we have developed new experimental techniques such as MOT using ^1S_0-^1P_1 transition, MOT using ^1S_0-^3P_1 transition, crossed FORT and delayed crossed FORT, simultaneous crossed FORT of isotope pairs, evaporative cooling of atoms in crossed FORT, sympathetic cooling of fermion and boson, and have obtained new physical insights. To perform EDM measurements, we have so far succeeded in transferring the atoms by 6 mm in 1 sec. by optical trapping technique, in which there is no additional loss of atoms during the transfer. In addition, high electric fields should be applied to the cold atoms in the EDM measurements, so we demonstrated such experiment using Cs atoms which is the most sensitive atom to electron EDM among the alkaline atoms and the most popular among the laser cooled atoms. Even in the presence of 7.5kV/cm field, we have successfully trapped as many Cs atoms by compensating the Stark shift as in the zero-filed.We also considered possibilities of the spin quantum nondemolition measurement and EDM search of excited^3P_2 state.

我们研究了激光冷却YTTERBIUM原子的基础知识，以搜索原子永久性偶极矩（EDM）。尤其是，我们开发了新的实验技术，例如使用 ^1s_0- ^1p_1的MOT过渡，使用 ^1S_0- ^3p_1过渡，过渡，越过堡垒和延迟的交叉堡垒，同位素配对的交叉交叉，蒸发原子在交叉堡垒中的原子蒸发冷却，同情堡垒，同情Fermiion和Boson和Boson和Boson和Boson和Boson and Boson，并获得了新的internsight and Intersight。为了执行EDM测量，到目前为止，我们已经成功地在1秒内将原子转移了6毫米。通过光学诱捕技术，在转移过程中没有原子的额外损失。此外，高电场应应用于EDM测量中的冷原子，因此我们使用CS原子证明了这种实验，这是碱性原子中对电子EDM最敏感的原子，并且在激光冷却原子中最受欢迎的原子。即使存在7.5kV/cm场，我们也通过补偿了零档案中的鲜明移位来成功地捕获尽可能多的CS原子。我们还考虑了自旋量子量子非启动非启动测量和EDM搜索激发^3p_2状态的可能性。
