Examples

All of these examples are contained in the doc/examples/ subdirectory of the pylcp package as Juypter notebooks. The original source makes an excellent starting point for building your own script for pylcp.

Basic Examples

These examples focus on internal dynamics in an atom, without concerning itself with the motion.

• Power broadening
• Rabi Flopping
• Damped Rabi Flopping
• Adiabatic Rapid Passage
• Optical Pumping
• Three-level susceptibility & EIT
• STIRAP

Optical Molasses

These examples concern the simplest laser cooling setup: a one-dimensional optical molasses for slowing atoms.

• Two-level molasses in 1D
• \(F=0\rightarrow F'=1\) 1D molasses
• \(F=2 \rightarrow F'=3\) 1D molasses
• \(F\rightarrow F'\) 1D molasses

Magneto-optical traps

These examples focus on understanding the magneto-optical trap.

• \(F=0 \rightarrow F'=1\) MOT forces
• \(F=0 \rightarrow F'=1\) MOT capture
• \(F=0 \rightarrow F'=1\) MOT forces with the OBEs
• \(F=0\rightarrow F=1\) MOT temperature with the OBE
• An \(F \rightarrow F+1\) MOT with small ground state g-factor
• General \(F \rightarrow F'\) 3D MOTs
• Real atoms in a MOT
• Two color MOT
• Recoil-limited MOT
