Nonlinear Spectroscopy and Laser Cooling

这项研究工作的主要目标是提出一种可应用于许多有实验意义的案例的亚多普勒激光冷却理论。通过建立导致在非线性光谱学中可以观察到的非常窄的共振和低于多普勒极限的激光冷却的基本机制之间的联系，预计可以获得对激光冷却的相当深入的了解。希望该理论将有助于解释现有的实验数据，并对未来的实验起到指导作用。

The primary object of this research effort is the formulation of a theory of sub-Doppler laser cooling that can be applied to a number of cases of experimental interest. It is expected that considerable insight into laser cooling can be gained by establishing a connection between the underlying mechanisms responsible for both the very narrow resonances that can be observed in nonlinear spectroscopy and laser cooling below the Doppler limit. It is hoped that the theory will help to explain existing experimental data and will serve as a guide for future experiments.
