Assume that you are supposed to build a magneto-optic trap for 133Cs atoms. The trapping transition is the 6 S1/2 F = 4 to 6 P3/2 F' = 5 transition.
 |
(a) Specify the laser(s) needed for this experiment (wavelength, power, tuning range, etc). |
|
(b) Explain how how you would tune and stabilize the laser frequency and what frequency you would lock the lasers to. |
|
(c) Explain your experimental setup. |
|
(d) What methods would you use to verify that you are trapping 133Cs atoms and to characterize your trap? |
